Default Gears

Alright so depending on the guy I'm getting my lift through can do it before he works a shutdown I'll be getting a 6 inch lift new gears and new tires and rims

4.56 gears what's y'all's opinions about the gears going to be running 35x12.50 on 20 inch rims
Pretty sure the gears I have now are 3.55

i think that's overkill for 35's. If you might go bigger in the future than go for it.

most guys go with 4.56 or 4.10s. Just depends on what you drive more of city or highway? Any off roading? Any plans to go to a bigger tire than 35s?

From experience go 4.56s. You will regret if you go 4.10s.

I did 4.10 with 35s on a 4.6 and it was okay, but 4.56 would've been better. Went with 4.10 for the flexibility between 35s and 33s though.
