I have not had any first hand experience with this setup but I am pretty sure
1st and 2nd gear will be useless.

5.13's are the way to go in my opinion.

At 65mph your RPM would be 2820 rpm in 6th gear with 5.38 gears and 35" tires.

4.88's (which is what most people go with when going to 35's) would give you 2558 rpm at 65mph.
