Gears for 38s

[peyton4x4]

I was orginally wanting 4.88s for my 38s, but seeing that my rpms at 70 would be 2000, I'm starting to look at 4.56. The 4.56 would put me about stock gear ratio (3.73) but I'm afraid it's not enough for riding in town. What would yall do?

If you're set on 38's, I'd go with 4.88s or 5.13s. If you had the 10b, I'd say you're crazy - but I know you have the 14b.

I ain't got her yet, but she's a coming here soon

I'd run 5.13's or 5.38's if I was you.

5.13s would be pushing 2100 rpms at 70 which I will be doing for 60 miles a day

60 miles a day... on 38s. Sounds like you need to get a different daily driver .

But that wouldn't be any fun now would it? Lol

No, but neither is driving a truck with 38's that can't get out of it's own way so it can turn 1500 rpm on the highway.

2200 rpms at 70mph is stock

I run at 2200 rpm on 35's at 70mph with 4:56's
