LOL... oh please those "calculators" aren't very good. They don't take into account all the things that matter when you regear. Its more than just making up for tire size. If you're running a really heavy tire/wheel combo, you should be thinking about that when you regear. If you're a stick or an auto, that comes into play. I'll even argue that you may consider different gears than what a calculator like that suggests depending simply on where you drive most(freeway, mountain roads, or is the rig strictly for offroad?)
If you're doing more freeway driving than anything, you'll want to stick closer to a stock gear so you have a full range of speed. A 4.10 gear you might be able to top out at 120 on a freeway. WIth a 5.13 you might only see 80 as a top speed thats physically possible!
I don't see where you plug that in on the calculator? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I hope your find your "thick gears".
