According to the chart linked earlier in this thread, it says a 6 speed on 35s with 5.13s should be turning about 2900 RPMs at 70, so I guess the real world numbers are a little different...What's your gas mileage like?

I have 4.88's with 35's and I'm running 2900 RPM at 70 in 6th gear.

Cool. That would fall right within the chart. Might be a terrain thing...
