Hello,
I have a 2dr 08 rubi running on Xtreme all terrain procomp 35s and spare. I drove my family to Okanagen BC. A lot of times the hwy was a long stretches of hill, with a speed limit of a 100kkms. Most of the times I was being tailgated by other drivers as I was struggling to get up the hill, only driving at 80kms, not driving the speed limit. I have always been driving a manual transmission and even down gearing will not work to get my speed up. I have been advised to have my gears changed to 5:13s. Can someone please advise me if this appropriate, name brand and if I would also need the setup package?
Thank you and much appreciated!
Gerald

Edit: With your 6spd...go with 4:88's if you decide to re-gear if you are sticking with 35's as your biggest tire.
