Show me something off road. Of course I like, but is it useful or just bling?

I'm running 35's on my base and did the RC steering bushings and it feels WAY smoother now, might want to think about it with 37's.

How does it feel with the base gearing in it on those?

Nevermind... it has the manual which negates my question. Looks great!

Good question none-the-less.
I'm really interested in Mike's input on this.

My Base is on 35's with the 7spd & 4.46 combo.
With the factory 30's, it felt really over geared from a stop. I never really paid attention to how it felt on the interstate.

With the 35's, the could probably use a bit more gear from a dead stop, but on the highway, 6th gear is useless.
I'm certain going another 2" taller to 37's didn't help him with that, LOL!

It seems like actual 33's would be ideal for the 4.46 gears. ( My opinion)

For 35's, MY preference would be probably the 5.13's or 5.38's ... yes, it would feel "short" from a dead stop again, but I'd aim to be able to use 6th gear again at 78/80 mph at 2700rpm.
(I can get 21 mpg at 2700 rpm/78 mph ... 5th gear, on 35's )

For 37's almost definitely the 5.38's (my opinion), but Dusty who is actually running 37's and 5.13's on his 2dr manual loves that set up. He felt the 5.38's would be too short for his liking.
