Good afternoon. I am re-gearing my 85 Toyota pickup with a 5 speed tranny and 22RE. I ordered 4.88 gears but am having second thoughts about getting 5.29 gears. I’ll have two sets of tires, 33x10.50 AT types for DD (less wear and tear) and 35x12.50 MT for off road. Question I have is; how bad would the 5.29’s be with the 33’s for DD? Mostly driving around town and not a whole lot of highway driving. If anyone is running or experienced with this setup as a DD I’d appreciate any feedback. I’m good on the off road numbers and that is why I want to get the 5.29’s. I do have a 4.7 to 1 transfer case so the 4.88’s will be good but the 5.29’s would be better Thanks in advance.
 
you'll be fine with the 4.88's IMO..
 
i think hes askin if he gets 5.29s with 33s how will it be for DD. like what RPMs he'll be runnin and whatnot.

now i have no experience with this, but thats what i used to want to run was 5.29s and 33s. from what ive found it really depends on personal preference wheter you will like it or not. youll rev higher of course, but i think itd be a good setup. i know a guy that has a 2.7L tacoma and runs 5.29s and 33s and he loves it for a DD.
 
Good call. You would eventually end up with 5.29 gears. Go ahead and do the gears one time and be done.
