Depends on several things, but we have had several combinations, and have settled in on 3:56 rears with 24.5 lo-pros tires, 13 speed trans, and a C-15 in front. If you are not usually going to be on a freeway, or if you have stand-up 24.5's I would suggest 3:70's. If you are only pulling from the field to the bins, 3:90's would be fine, but that means the engine will need to run close to 2000 rpm at 65 mph if you ever need to go there.
