way big, I'd go 4.56 gears at least.

315x75x16=34.6"

If you're currently running 3.55 stock gearing on 35" tires, then either 4.56s or 4.88s are going to help over your current setup. 4.56s will be the most fuel efficient.

Your tranny probably curses at you under it's breath every time you turn the key, LOL!
