but anyways i have 3.55's which more than 90% of rams came with, and with 35'' tires at 65 mph im at around 1500 rpm's.

my speedo is also off by 7-10 mph (i use a gps) so when im doing 65 my STOCK speedo says 55
Thats the other thing...maybe TBI doesnt realize when his speedo says 100km he's really going faster? 35" tires and 4.56 gears equal a correct speedo for me.

With 16 inch rims, 285/75 is a 32.8 inch tire, with 17's... well, you do the math.
