are there gears out for out trucks yet? when i get my titan lifted, i'm going to get 35's on them. i want to change the gears from what i have now(i have the big tow package) to 5:13s.

No gears yet, but why would you want to go to 5.13? Seems a bit too low, you'd be turning 2,875RPM in overdrive at 70 mph.

yeah 5:13s maybe a it too low. i don't want to leave it stock gears with the 35's. i want to bring it back to stock, maybe 4:56, if not in the fours

Well to return it to operating in the stock RPM, you'd only need a 3.56 rear end. Of course you're spinning a little bit more rotating mass, so a bit lower (higher numerically) could help, but I still don't think you need to get down to 4:56.

3.73's (or so) is the magic number...

My dad had 5.13's in his 1953 1 ton dually. It would go about 65 mph at 3,700 rpm.
