Re-gear targets for 31" tires
These restore your original gearing (from a ~31" stock tire). If you tow or want more low-end than stock, go one step numerically higher.
| Your stock axle | Ratio to restore | Closest common gear |
|---|---|---|
| 3.55 | 3.55 | 3.55 |
| 3.73 | 3.73 | 3.73 |
| 4.10 | 4.10 | 4.10 |
RPM at 65 mph on 31" tires
Cruising RPM in a direct-drive top gear, so you can see how each ratio feels on the highway.
| Axle ratio | RPM at 65 mph |
|---|---|
| 3.55 | 2,501 |
| 3.73 | 2,628 |
| 4.10 | 2,889 |
| 4.56 | 3,213 |
Which way should you lean?
- Daily driving / highway: the restore ratio above keeps your RPM and MPG close to stock.
- Towing or hauling: go one step numerically higher (for example 4.10 instead of 3.73) for stronger low-end, accepting a little higher cruise RPM.
- Mostly light and highway miles: you can stay a touch lower for a calmer cruise, but expect softer acceleration under load.
