Like you said you wont have any top end and your get up and go is not going to be that great with that big of a tire. If you want to wheel it that 6 cylinder might have some trouble getting it around the trails with those big meats.

i have run 35's with 3.55 gears. it did ok on the trail, did rear good on the highway but it was in a f-150. for 35's 4.10s are great because they do good on the trail and on the highway. are you running a automatic or stick?

just thought i would add, i have 4.88's in my axles, with 38 in tires. and it will be stricktly a trail truck, i don't think it will be worth a damn on the highway or the engine will be screaming.
