Thanks Tom! Yeah, I want to change the gear to a 3.25 or 3.50 set if I keep 28" tires on it. That's why I put the 30" slicks on. Trying to kill some gear. With the 30's my final ratio is 3.37. I don't know if I like the way the 30's feel with swaying sometimes, so I may go with a 3.50 gear and 28's. I don't know yet, but I know that I do like driving it with a higher gear so far.

I'm going with a 3.60 and a 31" tire on my setup. I do have a 4 link and fairly wide tires.

I like to chart the tire, gear, rpm combo. Makes it easy to see where you really are.
Looks like this.

rear tire - 31" tall, 5843 multiplier

rear gear 3.60
