Default Gears for 35's ?

i have an 03 4.7 with the towing pkg and limited slip so the current gearing is 3.21 if im not mistaken.. i am running 35's now. What is the best gear ratio for 35's? this is my daily driver and i drive city and highway mainly, so i dont want to lose alot of MPG . i get about 8-9mpg now, how much less mpg would with gears ?

08ramsport, Alot of guys on this site report getting better gas mileage after disabling the 4cyl. mode with a Superchips programmer.

4.56's, 35" is a big tire for a 4.7...you'll recover some mileage all the way around and your tranny will love you for it..

What RPM gain did you guys see going from 3.55 to 4.56 gears?

according to gear calculator, I'd go from 1700 rpm to 2200.

You guys see 500 rpm gains?
