What gears are you running with the 6" setup and 35" tires?

I run 4:56 gears with my 35's and it pulls great off the line and still able to cruise down the hwy at 65-70mph no problem.

It averages right around 11.5. Mostly used driving in stop and go traffic.

When I looked at a tire size / ratio chart, I believe that 4.56 gears will put it just a little above the stock gearing with 35's.
