I think with the 34's it would be like driving on 285's. I think. But either way, 4.10's and 34's would be better then 3.55's and 34's.

Oh no doubt I'm regearing before going any bigger that the tires I have on now( 265's). I'm just making sure I do the right ratio the 1st time around.

I agree with HeyYou about the 4.56's, if you plan on going bigger than 33's. If you feel that 33's are as big as you are going to go, you could probably find a great deal on a used set of 4:10s, being as many trucks came with them. You will be happy with either choice after your five speed swap.

Fwiw as someone that has tried different gear ratios and different tire sizes in/on my truck, 285/75r16= 3.92 or 4.10, 315/75r16 = 4.56. Just my 2c worth of info.

I was planning on buying axles out of the offroad edition with the 4:10 gears aready in it, it would cost around the same and i would have spare axles here any ways.

Just an idea for anyone planning on running 4:10's
