i have a lift now with 31's and am not going to 35's until i re gear. there are a few people in here that hare running 35's with 3:21's even though i could not imagine how sluggish that is cause mine is a slug right now. i would go with 4:88's unless you are going to go bigger than 35's then i would venture into 5:13's

4:88's should will bring you back to stock with 35's a lot of people are running 4:88's with 35's just look around on the site.

I have an auto with 35's, does great with 5.13's. Most people on here seem to think 4.88's are best with the manual. If you have either and don't do alot of highway miles, I'd go 5.13's.

see thats my only thing i don't do much highway driving i take a few long road drips a year and everyone seems to think to go to 513's instead of the 88's. i have to get some money saved up first though. I have someone on the island here that will do it for 1600. i guess thats not to bad.

i might just flip a coin a week before and figure it out that way

forgot to mention i have a 6spd

I have a frt locker, so I dunno about the rear. I'm contemplating about a rear auto locker for the future though.
