Hey! Where'd the mountians go?!?!?
Thanks!
But, she's a little less attractive when you get up close and see her pinstripping.

I really miss Iceland. Second favorite spot on Earth (close second behind coastal Alaska).
The Burger had its first day out on the trails. performed awesome, loved every moment and cant wait for more.
More from the High Country trip

Very cool 105 and wow, what beautiful surroundings.
I must wheel in AUS before I die.

35s mounted!
35s = No Power
35s = look great
35s = Mo Betta off-road

Those do look great.
How much "No Power" is no power?
Will you be able to live with it or will you regear?

Looks good....I see a re-gear in your future.
looks really F****** Mo Better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys, I am regeared. These things are heavy!!!
I see a supercharger in my future
I also live at 4500 feet which does not help things.
Hittin' the road for 100s in the Hills.

jon how much to those weigh?? I know we are not good on gas mileage but what was the hit once you went with these?? I se the trailer and you usually have lots of gear what is the MPG? Mostly concerned with range of vehicle with the available tank and maybe a few extra gallons on back. thanks
Jumped in the family hundy tonight and got all excited about this.

Looks bad AZZZ
about re gearing, im little confuse , do you use higher number like 4.88, 5.2 etc. etc.( is this final drive in transmission or in axel) , or you change you final drive to a lower ratio( smaller number )

Typically when you enlarge tires you will regear to a higher ratio, and the most common is going to 4.88
That is a LOWER ratio. Higher number = lower gears...
Stock is 4.11:1 meaning it takes 4.11 turns of the driveshaft to turn the axle shaft once. Regearing to 4.88:1 makes 4.88 turns of the driveshaft to turn the axle shaft once. Therefore, this is a lower gear ratio.

I always have an internal argument when I attempt to discuss gear ratios. I have always said that the numerically larger number is lower, and I think that you will see that very often in the automotive industry. However mathematically, this is not correct. 2:1 is a lower ratio than 4:1...for example in your school you want a low student to teacher ratio...say 20:1 versus 40:1.
Anyway, just thought I'd throw that out there. Personally, I think you're both right.
Oh yeah, pic. 295s, stock AHC in N.

Thank you guys
I always thought the same way, when you put bigger tires you should go higher in gear number ( numerically 4.88, 5…)
So here is when I get the brain far*. So when you swap 35s with 4.88 your engine needs to work harder the rpms are higher right?
But to keep the rpms low , instead of 4.88 you need to swap and smaller ratio (numerically lower 3.85) am I right or im way too off ?

If I understand properly, yes you're right. But going to a higher ratio (lower mathmatically, which makes no sense to me...) means that your truck is gonna be hella slow. Typically going to a higher ratio gives you better fuel economy but a lower ratio gives you better power.

I too got a little confused by the question of "swap 35s with 4.88". If we're talking swapping to larger tires already having 4.88 gears, then you're engine will need to work harder than before, but RPMs are going to drop.
In general...
Larger Tire/Higher gears(numerically lower ratio) - Engine will work harder/rpms will decrease for a given speed. Example: Going from 31" to 35" tires or 4.88:1 to 4.10:1 gears.
Smaller Tires/Lower gears(numerically higher ratio) - Engine will work less hard/rpms will increase for a given speed. Example...the opposite. Going from 35" to 31" or 4.10:1 to 4.88:1.

Oh yeah, pic...295s. Stock AHC in H.
