I assume you mean gear ratios. The general consensus is 4.10's for 33's. It really depends on what type of offroading and how much highway driving though.

3.92s are great for the highway. Sitting at 2k RPM at 70mph (real speed).

There are a bunch around me it seems like. Plus the off road eddition has a little stronger axle up front because of gusting.
