regeared?

It would have came with 4.10 gears stock.

and 4.88 is the best you can get for the dana 35, which would help a lot but your biggest draw back is the power of the 4cyl.

Oh new to me what it came with, thanks for the info love this form

Would 4.88s allow me to do 70 again? And how would it affect the mileage?

I have a 2.5 with 4.88's and 37's I can run a hair over 60 in fourth but fifth is useless to me as well.

leave the gears you have and put a 6 in it..you will get better gas mileage than you have now and have plenty of power

With 33" tires, and regeared to 4.88, it should bring you real close to what you had with stock gearing and stock tires.

Yes you can. That is the set-up I have, but I sure don't care to run 70 in mine.
Just remember it is still going to be a 4 banger. The 4.88's just give you fuel mileage amd 5th hear back. Well......a lower crawl in 4-low too

Mine too but its a Jeep. 4:88s for a Jeep on 33s will put you back to normal but it is costly. Installed locally they want 1200-1500 plus anything else they find wrong.

My 4 cyl. regeared @ 4.88s with 33s is only 2.5 mph off...at least according to my gps. If I'm going 60 mph, actually shows about 57 or 58 mph. Yes, you can do 70 mph, but that is not my cup of tea in a lifted jeep...4.88 is ideal for 4 cyl. Wouldn't even consider the 4.56 option.

Not worth it to waste a dime on the D35....
