3" body lift with 35's

Hey everyone,
Just recently this weekend got my 3" body lift and 315/70/17 BFG AT's with some new 17" MB Blitz wheels. This all cost me around $2,000 installed, but it was well worth it in the end. Thanks for all the help decided what to get.

PS: Also had a question. With these 35" tires, what gear ratio would be best for my truck? its a 4.6 4x4. THANKS!

I have the same setup and I'm also running a 4.6L.
About 2 months after installing my 35s the rear end started to whine. I think it was a combination of the tires and the 170k miles. So i thought it was time for some new gears, and replaced my stock 3.55 with some 4.10 made by Yukon Gear. They run great and the gas milage is good too. But if u want a little more ...ummff, i would go with a 4.56.

Good luck.

I agree, *at least* a 4.10, 4.56 would be better.

I'd go with 4.56's as least. If you tow/haul a lot, I'd go with 4.88's.
