have got a set of 35s for my cruiser. and i dont want it to go any slower than it did on the old 31's so thought id get new ring and pinion gears too. so what ratio should i be going with in a bj74. currently has 4.11 ratio should i go with 4.88 or 5.29

Here is a handy chart

i wouldnt go 5.29,had them in my mwb cruiser n even on 36z at 100kms i found them to low geared.4.8s would be perfect i reckon,im thinkn bout getting them for my shorty .but yea just my 2c.Rich

has anybody else got an opinion?

Depends is it going to be used on the road, Ive got 4.88 and they seem to be a very good ratio for both.

my old BJ74 (13BT) ran 285/75 R16 tyres which are supposedly the equivalent of 33" and it was fine for power etc but the speedo was out so that if it read 84kph I was actually doing 100kph

I wouldnt put 5.29s in on a road going truck, Personally id stick with the 4.1s and squeeze some more power out of the 13bt if its really necessary.
