Well that makes me feel better about my 3.55s and 315/70/17. I just drive with od off if I will be under 55. With the programer to correct shift points it isn't that bad for me. Sold the big camper so only towing a four wheeler trailer at the moment. Highway rpms are low, under 2000 around 70-75.

 

I know mine's older then yalls but I'm running 42 with 3:55 gears and a manual and I hit 60 like nothing I know I need to change them but don't feel like it yet untill I get my axles all done

 

My highway rpms are under 2000 when at 70 cruising to work

 

4:56 is over kill for 35s if u ask any true mechanic 3:73 or 4:10 is plenty for 35s I'm running 37s on 3:73 with a tune and have plenty of power

 

That's what I've been told. 4:56 would only benifit city driving but I drive 35 miles each way to work highway then 10 city so 4:10 would Prolly be best?

 

My 01 silverado was the same way, 6inch lift on 35's, as soon as i hit 5th gear i might as well just shut the truck off lol, after i changed the rear gears from 3.55 to 3.73's it was amazing, who ever owned the truck before me must have changed the front diff to 3:73 because when i first got the thing it was all over the map in horse****. 3500 for the truck $7500 into it on top of that and it was great, tillk the frame cracked :P.

pictures only got the 33's on it but with the lift after i painted it

 

Here's my sticker

 

Haha yeah 5th gear for me is shutting the truck off too just coasting baby!! Haha

 

Atleast I can control my shift points or I'd really be wanting to regear...

 

Oh man...someone is in for some spending with a place and a Mrs. on the horizon. hahaha. Yea my 70mph rpms are 1800 so i try to take it easy as well. No need to go 80. plus the longer im in my truck the happier i am. haha.
