Well that just confirms and compounds my desire for 35" tires. I'd like to stick at the 3.5" lift though, so trimming will be required.
4.37 gears are what I was looking at. Do you like that ratio or wish you had gone lower? I've been leaning towards 4.37 but also thinking about 4.56 which, if I recall my math, would be a touch lower than factory where as 4.37s would be about the same as factory with 35s.

TF released a new lift recently that Lucky 8 is selling. Might be that? I forgot exactly how tall it was.
I've calculated the ratios before. I typically like a little lower ratio than most people though. Don't fear the RPM!

Thanks for the kind words. The original builder deserves a lot of the credit. Not that I haven't put a lot of time, effort and money into it as well!
I'm happy with the 4.37s. I think 4.56s would be a bit better off road but you would definitely be hurting yourself on the highway runs.
The original builder installed the springs so, unfortunately, I don't have the precise details. It is not the new TF mentioned because the springs were put in back in 2013.
