I know this is an old post but it was crazy reading all the pros comments on 3.5 vs 3.92 not one of the pros asked about tire size??????????? i have 31 inch tires so I will not lose any mpg at all.............never even mentioned who are these people.....get any gear you want but what size tires do you have is the real question................

I was thinking the same exact thing while reading. 31x10.5r15 tires you definitely want the 3.92
