With that size tire you're gonna want 4.56 gears. 4.10s would work but are on the high gearing end. 4.88 will also work, but probably geared too low for your needs. Get 4.56's.

Definitely 4.56 for anything over 33 inch. my 4.10s are acceptable with my 33s but it is a close call.

i daily my explorer. and sometimes trail/mud with a few buddies on the weekends.

truck is a 5spd sport on 35x12.5.

will 4.88 be to low of a gear to daily on the hwy? no freeway as much but back road hwy's and such.

i keep hearing 4.56 and 4.88 but i need to figure out which one.

4.88 is a little deeper then stock gears/tires with 35s
iirc 4.56 would be a little under geared comparatively

you can still highway cruse with the 4.88s
