4.88 if desiel, I think any lower and they are to weak.

Try this table doesen't mater if petrol or deisel, if you match you power and toque curve to your engine revs for best perfomance then apply the table.

Agree with guts when i had my luxs had 35s mtr and 4.88 ratios pretty spot on for speedo reading and o.k on the freeway (TURBO would of helped ;) ;) ;) )

Have you tried the Hankook Muddies RT01 , they are the same/similiar tread pattern to BFG but a lot cheaper like i paid $175 ea for mine a couple of months back (31x10.5x15`s )

4.8`s would be the go cause you can get`em heaps easier

4.88's, rockcrawler gears & 35's are a good combo and they are grouse when you have a V8 up front too :D

Got a price on 35 BFG muds yesterday, $320 from Jacks tyres in Albury. This is the only place I have tried so far.

I am looking at 33's on my turbo diesel 2.8

Was going to keep the 4.3's or would it be worthwhile going to 4.8's? ( I have a spare set of 4.8's in the shed so it wouldnt cost me anything..)

You will run the 33's easier with the 4.8s but you will have to run the engine about and extra 10% revs to get the same speed as with the 4.3s

i run 33's (turbo 2.8) with 4.3 diffs without any dramas on or offroad, have been doing so for over a year.

2.8, 33`s and 4.88 diff gears will make the speedo spoton.

You won't get the 35's under without doing the suspension first.
So
Suspension
35's
diffs
crawlers

or

Suspension
diffs
35's
crawlers
