I'm looking for experience on just how bad the combination of 35" tires and stock (4.10) gears are w/ a 5 spd (W56).
I know it's not ideal by any means, probably warrants 5.29s...

But it won't be used for rock crawling, rather fast trail riding and racing (and streeting), so I'm not seeing the need for high RPMs at slow speed.

I know 5th gear will basically vanish. But if my math is right, the change in relative ratios (between 28 and 35" radius) should be about right to balance the gears so it is effectively just a 4 speed transmission - 4th gear now where 5th was, etc - close to matching the auto A340 even.
(I can't find the gearing specs from the L45 to confirm though). So to some extent,thsi is better than like 31s or 33s.
Is this logic right? Who's run this combo? Biggest problem I see is getting going from a start.
