Gearing is going to be good especially since your running 35 inch tires with a good amount of lift.

*I would ask the 3rd gen guys and see what they say. :favorites13:

what gears u runnin now? it wouldnt hurt to go 4.56, auto or manual? surprised the 3" BL

Kyboy88 · Apr 1, 2015

It's a automatic, and I believe 3.92s but I'm not a hundred percent sure, I've looked at every sticker on the truck and can not find it anywhere, and yea with the tires being so wide I was told I would have rubbing issues with just the 6 in lift so if there is rubbing I will put the body lift on

35s-4:56. Probably could get away with 4:10s, but you'd be much happier with the higher gears.

4:56 is the way to go. I rebuilt mine. All American bearings with Chrysler gears. I'm running 35/70-17 on mine. I tow a lot and it will still burn the tires if I wanted to.

then go with a 1 or 2 inch body lift
