4.10s or 4.56. I have stock 4.10s and they handle my 33 Trail Grapplers just fine. If you had 35s Id suggest 4.56s. I dont know they prices but you can google it from what Ive told ya. Granted, if they were 265s and with this SCT tuner. Id be leavin rubber a lot haha.

4.10s should suit you fine. It would be easier to find an OFF ROAD edition of a 2001 ram in a junkyard and swap the rear (stock with 4.10s). Front swap as well if you have a 4x4. That would be A LOT cheaper.

I recommend the 4.10s if you will also be pulling/hauling. That is a must with that tire. Unless you like slowing from 70 MPH to 50MPH once you hit a hill.

With bigger tires, the 4.10 gears will only give you a minimal loss in MPG. Overszed tires act like an overdrive.

I noticed, at the most, 1 MPG. But also with the way I drive with this SCT, its just gone from 10 to 8.8 lol
