What vehicle? what motor? A bit of information would make it easier for guys to make suggestions.
I have 4.88 diffs in my surf with a 2.8 straight six motor running 35's. I think it is still too high in the gearing

wot he said

we need a little more info on wots powering it etc etc etc

as a side note, most of the trials guys run 4.8s, there are a few who run up to 5.7s and a couple in between who go down to 3.7s.

its dependent on a whole bunch of other stuff dude

and so on and so on

help us out with a little more info and watch the comments fly



allright, I posted and went away and found this.........

so I would say that you may wanna try and get 4.8s, they are harder to find, but would probably be better gearing for what you are going to do, which is similar to what a lot of trials guys are running. PM MrO to see what ratio he got, as hes running 36s I think.

Cheers
