Since im going up in tire size i need to re gear my CJ, should i go with 4.10 or 4.56 keep in mind that i still want to be able to cruise around in my rig! is not just a trail rig. 
let me have it GO! ;)

Seabee_BUC:
4.10's would be good for you if you want to be able to drive it to and from trails without running at 3500 rpm at 65...

PaulW:
5.38's do it once and do it way overkill.

I have 35" BFG and I have 4.10 gears.  I don't have my speedo calibrated, but I would guess that at 65 mph in 5th gear I am at 2000 rpm, and in 4th gear (long hills) I am at 2400 rpm.  According to the charts in 4wd hardware 4.10 gears are best for gas milage with 35's, but 4.56 or 4.88 would be best for off road. 

I had 3.73 gears with 35's and that sucked.  I am happy with the 4.10 gears........but since my Jeep is mostly a toy I would like to go to 4.88 gears in the future, but I have plenty of other stuff I would rather get right now.
