You don't have to regear right away, the 4.88's will work better with 35's than the 4.10's did with 33's. I wouldn't regear until you are ready to install lockers, then sell the 4.88's to offset the cost of the 5.29's.

For tires I would go with either MTR's or BFG MT's, if money allows the X-terrains are a good tire as well.


More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
