for 35s specifically...
the general trend seems to be that those with 4.56s sometimes wish they had gone with 4.88s. but few people with 4.88 complain that they should have gone 4.56.
if youve got the AX-15, you can get away with 4.56s. if youve got an AW4, most if not all will say go 4.88.

I am real happy with 4.56 and 35's.
what tires do you have right now? i guess you just put 4.56 in, no street time yet?

I have 4.88 and 35's, if I go to 1 ton axles I'll be running 5.38's. Lower is better.

I really like my AW4 and 4.56s on 33s, can't wait to go 35s.

I have 4.56's and 35's, I like it, seems pretty comparable to what it was like stock. I have the BA-10.

I ran 4.88's on 33's for a while...it wheeled great and was a great DD as well.
I am currently running 5.13's and 315/75-16 (~34") and LOVE it...but will end up at 36's or so as soon as finances allow.
most of the folks I have spoke to/wheeled with that had 4.56's and 35's whished for 4.88 or deeper. I know that's only a handful of people but with the deep OD of the AW4 go as deep as you can...you won't regret it.

4.56 and 32's was amazing on the street and the trail.
With 35's, it killed the low end that I had on the street. I usually put the AW4 in 3rd when I'm on the road going under 40-45mph or going up a decent sized hill. Wasn't going to go 4.88's to risk the breakage. You'll be fine with 35's, just my personal preference.

4.56's and 35's have worked fine for me...both with an AX15 and an AW4

4.56 and 35's is a perfect combination

Same here. 4.56 and 35's. 4.88 isn't enough of reduction gain to justify doing it again.
If you're doing it from the start go with 4.88s but I doubt you'd notice the difference between the two.

4.56 and 35s will give you a slight edge over the factory setup.

That slight edge goes away with increased rolling mass and added wind resistance. A lot of people seem ok with their 4.56, a lot say they wish they were lower, but not 1 person who has 4.88 has said they wanted anything higher. With the od, highway rpm's are fine. 4.88's are the way to go.
