33s and 35s fine on a 2H with turbo.

Low range gears in transfer case might be okay down the track.

Your engine will rev a little less on the highway, so it will be good for it.

I found the standard 4.11 diffs great for 33" tyres, 2H turbo & 5 speed. When I went to 35" I found that 5th gear was next to usless. I have now gone to 4.56 and that is ideal.

I'll have to get back to you on that one - the Cruiser is at the doctors at the moment.

According to my gear ratio calculator with 35z and 4.56 diffs I should be doing around 2550RPM as opposed to 2450RPM with 33z and 4.11 diffs.

Mine was turbo with work done to it, and I found fifth gear fine.

But I know what you mean, becuase my 3B with 35s and 5 speed didn't like running in 5th gear.

I think some of the Mark's gearsets have 8% high range reduction too.
