5.13s? What the heck? Are you planning on putting 40s on that thing???
35"s,to bring it back to "stock" like performance I would need 4.88's,I want a little more low end for all the city driving I do,plus it will really help out more on the trails.Don't want or need to go past 80mph anyway,plus the 3.7 makes all it's power in the higher rpm range so 5.13's will preform much better than 4.88's.It's all in the gear ratio,you don't need 500hp to turn 44" tires,I've seen a totally sick Samuri with 2 1/2ton military axles running 53" tires with a 100hp 4-cylinder,was also running 6.72 gears.
I had 5.29's with my 33's on my 85' toyota pickup with a 22re putting out about 130-140hp. That was a nice set up. Before that i had my 86' toyota with a 22r in it with 36" super swampers and stock 4.10 gears. Yeah that didn't get out of it's own way. Anyway I think 5.13's with 35"s and the 3.7 would be a perfect combo. It's all in the gearing.
