Tires And Gears Question

[gledhillt]

Hi, Is Anybody Running 35" Tires And 4.56 Gears On A Eb That They Use For Street And Trail. If So Does It Work Out, Or Does The Gears Seem To Low For The Street. Trying To Pick Some Gears, Don't Know If I Want 4.56 Or 4.30.

C4, 35" tires, and 4.30 gearing works very well for me. No complaints.

I had that exact setup, 4.56 gears with a C4 and 35 BFG MT's. It was ok, but a little harsh on the freeway. I went to 4.11 gears and it's excellent. If your not doing too much freeway driving 4.56 isn't bad, and gets you lower on the trail. I opted to go to 4.11 for the freeway RPMs.

Running a 302 with a c-4, 37in tires with 4.56 gears.....
Turns about 3k on the tach at 65 mph

More pleasant of a drive at 55

i ran that setup with a NP435 and it was a good combo...especially with the low first gear.


ive currently running 33's with 4.10's and a C4....im thinking about a 1' or 2" body lift and 35's to help on the freeway a little.

Depends on what transmission you have!

A C-4 is a 3 speed automatic with a final drive ratio of 1:1. If I was mainly going to drive on the street and needed highway gears, I would go with 4:11 gears.

I am running 35s, 4:56 gears, NV3550 5-speed manual with 5th gear being an overdrive.

Definitely depends on your tranny....
