Anyone running 4.88's with 315 duratracs?
Looking for some input as to what daily driving is like with 315 Duratracs (35's but run small), and a 6spd. Right now I have 3.21's and it's very manageable, however I keep contemplating between 4.56 and 4.88. Many people say 4.88, however a good bunch say 4.56 especially if it is a daily driver. I may run a "true 35" in the future, so I want to make the right decision.
On a side note, a local jeep shop keeps telling me to go 5.13!! I think that would be waaaaay to low for a DD on smaller 35's!

It really depends on your daily drive. I DD my 6 speed, 5.13 geared, 315 tired 2 door but I rarely drive interstate. In town it's perfect. Somebody who drives 70MPH all day long might not like 3000RPM and 14MPG. And at that speed there's only like 120RPM between 5.13's and 4.88's.
You'll have to decide for yourself, really. There are dozens, if not hundreds, of gearing threads to read if you want something to do in the meantime!
