plenum looks good for now. 35's with 3.55 gears your truck won't pull a greasy string out of a cats ***. with the 33's on my truck i never used 4 hi. it was pointless. if you put 35's on you truck and don't change there gears you will be pissed off with yourself, there will be kids on 20" bicycles in the neighborhood passing you and laughing.

I have been finding more to read about that the last day or so, i see what you all mean now. I have a friend who did a gear swap in his old jeep a while back that worked out fine. So i have someone who can help with that.
So what gear would work best for 35-36 tires? Would 4.56 be the better way to go ? My old power wagon I lifted and had 36s , 4.10s, never noticed a difference before with the 33s to the 36s tho...
will any the options 4.10 , 4.56 work in my truck with my front and rear ? havent really looked into what my options are...

Nice Truck!!!
But just a couple things for the record. I put my 2" leveling kit on my truck yesterday as well as my 35" mud grapplers. I have no rubbing. Get what you can afford but it can be done.
Now I have quite a few mods to my engine and a manual tranny and I am going to regear but I went for a test drive last night and my 3:55 gears with 35's was not near as bad as everyone keeps making it out to be. I will say I think a large part of that is the manual tranny because going down the interstate @ 65 I was in 4th gear doing 2100 rpm and all I had to do was touch the gas pedal and I was passing people like it was going out of style.
Just saying be careful about making blanket statements about what will and won't work always an exception
