You will definitely need gears. I suggest 4.56 since you have a 4.0
 












what about top end speed 4.56 seems a lil steep
 






Top end? You're going off-roading, not going to the drag strip! :D

4.56 <-- do it!
 






how much and what kind do yall recommend???
edit--by how much i mean how much $$$ ???
 






with my 33's and 4.10's 65 is about 2200k rpm's. i cant imagine that 4.56's would be anymore than around 2500k??? But with that big of a tire you need it to keep the extra stress of the transmission. We all know how weak these v-6 tranny's can be.
