gear ratios?

I'm putting a 6in suspension lift, and 35x12.50's on my 07 v6 reg cab. I been reading up on some the forums and apparently i need to change the gears out. So my question is what ratio should i get and its 2wd so does that change anything?

4.30's if you're 2WD. They don't make 4.30's for the front differential on 4WD's, so they use 4.56's for 35" tires. Your choice of either ratio.

i'd go with 4.56 gears in the rear.

w/ the v6 you are going to want all the help with power possible.

4.30's with an automatic or 4.56's with a manual.
