Default Gears

I am looking for some gears for the Dodge and I cant find anything????
All I get back are 1/4 times etc. What gives?

I have 3.55 in the 5sp auto and they are way too long. What would the difference be if I go with 4.56s? How much will my MPG drop? 4.10s or 4.56s? Which would be better. Keep in mind that I have 22 in rims.

Thanks

If you go all the way to 4.56 you will see a fairly significant decrease in MPG if you run log a lotof highway time. 7% maybe [sm=confused06.gif]

If you ran thestock diameter tire (no matter the rim) then going to 4.56 would cost you some mileage, but if you bumped up your tire size, then you will probably regain what you lost. I know 4.56 would help alot to regain the 2-3 mpg I lost when I put on 35" tires.
