A few additional questions to ask

where you live.
What transmission.

Flat landers don't need the gearing as much as those with some different elevations.

I live in Colorado and have a 6spd Manual.

I ran stock 4.10s with 35s for a while and then upgraded to 5.13s.

1st gear became a creeper gear again and I could do rolling starts in 2nd.
6th gear was useful again and I used it more often.

I since have moved to 37s and I think I'm near factory like ratios with tire size to gearing size.

I've now added a supercharger and I think 4.88s would have been more ideal.

Im using 3.73 and 33's now, but i am moving to 35" and im deciding wether to do a gear change or not. I was thinking of just going to 4.10. or should I go 4.88? will I get better gas milage with 4.88s?
