I'm assuming you'll be on one-ton axles (60's? 60 and a 14 bolt?), so I'm thinking that 5.38's would be the way to go.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

yes 60's front and back  35 spline all around

5.38's it is then 

im running 5.13's now with 35's and i love the power and the crawl ratio


so im sure 5.38's will feel the same
