I have had 33" tires and 4.10 gears for several years on my rig. Rpm's hung around 2500 at 75. I just rebuilt my rear-end and now have 4.56 gears and same size tires. rpms are around 2700. If you are planning on going to 35" tires I would recomend going to at least 4.56, and maybe even 4.88. The 4.56 would average the rpm's to around stock and the 4.88 will be slightly higher, but more power off the line, going up hill, and towing. And if you plan on doing a lot of wheeling then go with the 4.88.
