FAQ's --> Drivetrain section --> RPM charts
Use 'actual' measured tire heights.
Auto, 3.73, 31" tires (guessing on actual height of stock 32's) =
1953 rpm @ 70
Auto, 3.73, 34" tires (guessing on actual height of 35's) =
1781 rpm @ 70
Auto, 3.73, 34" tires --> OD OFF
(1781 / .69 =)
2581 rpm @ 70
Auto, 5.13, 34" =
2450 rpm @ 70
Auto, 5.38, 34" =
2569 rpm @ 70
Soooo,
35's with 3.73's and OD Off = 35's with 5.38's and OD On
Drive with the 35's and OD Off and see how you like the performance. Good as is, go to 5.38. If you want lower rpm's, go 5.13.

Thanx!

Thanx, have a good one!
