35s and Gears Question

I plan on lifting the truck and going with 35s sometime in the near future. My concern is that I have the 4.2 so obviously I would have to re gear or else it would be twice the dog it already is haha. My question is what gear ratio should I plan on running, most V8 guys seem to run 4.56s and are pleased but I figured that maybe I could get a little more oomph with 4.88s since I have the V6. Any thoughts, opinions, or suggestions? Thanks guys!

 

I just had 4.56 put in last night, will drive it in the morning! but someone will have some details for ya, I have no idea

 

Vano has a formula on how to figure this out and stay within your power band. Going to larger your going to top out early and waste fuel so be careful how larger you go.

 

ask agjake. he had the 4.2 in his old truck

 

Will do. Thanks guys.

 

You will At least 456's with the v6.

 

That's what I figured but I dunno what would be best, 4.88s or 4.56s. I do mostly all city driving to and from work ad to and from school.

 

Prolly 4:88's if all you do is city driving. I'd go with that. Then down the road if you wanna slap some 37's on you can

 

hmmmm...
I'll keep that in mind. I'll just have to do some more research.

 

i would go 4.88's too no smaller than 4.56's
