ps thank for the input
Ill be running 35's this weekend. Have flatties & trimmed the rear pinch seam. Plan on running 4.88's soon, but from what Ive heard my 6speed & 4.10's are not too bad. Ill be throwing on my Teraflex 2.5 coil lift sitting in the garage after I get the last of the goodies in the mail (frt trackbar/rear trackbar & tearflex lowers). Im running the RockerKnockers & have been really happy w/em.

I would highly recommend the lower gears. You will notice a huge difference with the new rotating mass

I have a 6 spd and 35's and Superchips programmer, I do notice a slight loss of power on the highway, but it's still very driveable. Will re-gear when i wear out my 35's and go to 37's with flat fenders - thats down the road tho!

If you still have the front lower stock plastic air dam, you will need to trim the ends.

If you try to wheel in the rocks with 35s and 3.21 gearing, get used to a burning clutch smell. If you wheel frequently in technical rock terrain, you will end up frying the clutch and possibly the transmission if you wait too long to regear.

I have 35s and 4:88s. After driving one with 5:13 I wish I would have went that direction instead. I have an automatic.

Having an automatic vs. a 6 speed is a big difference when regearing. Automatics are way more forgiving. With 35's he wants 4:88's or even consider 4:56's depending on driving habits and driving terrain.
