I have 4.88's with my 35's and manual tranny. I think it is good and I will keep them when I go to 37's.

5.38's if you have the D44 up front. 5.13's if you have the D30. I have 5.38's and love them. Mountain driving sucks with an auto even with 5.38's but its a lot more bearable than with the stock 4.10's. Plus MPG's went up a ton.

I just don't like to keep a high rpm over an extended amount of time and if this is a daily driver the mpgs might be a little better by keeping a little higher gear while still maintaining the performance gains of lower than stock gearing
