My rule of thumb with 4.0 RBV's is 33's=4.56 gears, 35's=4.88 gears. And thats with a 4.0, with anything smaller than that, go lower. Even with 4.56's and 33's on my first ranger I wished I had gone with 4.88's. Very rarely do you ever hear people complaining of their gearing being too low, everyone always wants more gearing. If youre going to go through the hassle of re-gearing, go low and do it right the first time.
