Need Advice - Tires/gears

Anyone running 35's with 3.73 gears on a 4 door 6-speed? Just need to know if gearing would be a must, or can I live without gears for a while??

Thanks!

I have a 4 door with the 3.73's running 2.5tf bb's and 305/65/17 pro comp x allterrains. Its a little sluggish but hasnt killed my mileage and Im gonna hold off on gears until my rebate check shows up

3.73's and 35's here. 2 door 6 speed. Noticeable power loss, but nothing I can't put up with.

Since you have a six speed you could get by but it certainly won't be ideal! I have 35's with 410s auto and I hate it on hilly hwy driving. I'm putting 513s in next week. Hope this helps
