Hey Again!
I know I aint been around too much lately! I gots a new question for y'all. I know absolutely nothing about gears...so how do you determine what gears to run with a given tire size?

Thanks ahead of time!

I forget the actual formula, but I know Superlift has a chart on the web site.

It's actually pretty simple. Take the tire you want to go with, say a 35, divide that by your current tire, say a 31, then multiply the answer by the current gear ratio, say 3.73.

35/31=1.129x3.73=4.211

Closest thing would be 4.10s.
