ordering new gears and locker

[KYLE2289]

i have ran 33's on the stock 3.73 gears but they just seemed week and want to upgrade with the possibility to run 35's with a locker in the rear this will be mostly off road and mudding with the once a week walmart crawl. so just wanting some opinions on gears i was thinking 4.56 or 4.88 but there is the possibility for 5.13 let me know what you think. thanks

If mostly off-road Id go with 4:88, 5:13 would be a little ridiculous with 33s

Enter your axle gear ratio, tire diameter, vehicle speed, and transmission gear ratio in the blue fields and click the calculate button to find your engine RPM.

Axle Gear Ratio: : 5.13
Tire Diameter: 35 Inches
Vehicle Speed: MPH 60
Transmission Ratio: 0.75 : 1 = Overdrive 1.0 : 1 = 3rd gear


Engine Speed: 0.75 : 1 = RPM 2401
Engine Speed: 1.0 : 1 = RPM 3201

I think going with the 5:13 and 35" tires was one of the best decisions I have ever made for off roading. I don't think a 4:88 gear ratio is available for the RR Dana 35. Wasn't when I regeared several years ago.

James Oaks makes a set. Pricey! @ $760 for front and rear sets as a kit.

Complete kit though.

Oh, duh, you meant 4.88 not available.

James Oaks has those too.

Plenty of people make 4.88 for d35 unless something has changed lately. .I run 4.88 and its a good gear but if It was mostly off-road I would have went 5.13.I loved my 4.88s and 33s but I now run 36
