New 95 runner owner- suggestions?

[n8s Toy]

Hey all,
Just got a 95 SR5 4wd. It has a 6 inch lift with 33x12.50 tires. Obviously the problem is that freeway speeds on the way to Moab are a bit difficult (just got back today). I'm thinking of getting a cold air intake or redoing the exhaust, but it occurred to me that a chip may be the best bang for the buck.
So which is best for the first step? Basically I want to be able to go up a hill on the freeway faster than 45.
Pics will be posted soon.

Gear's.

So none of those options will make a difference...

They will, but i would gear it to match tire size first.

What gear ratio should I be going with? I know my way around an engine, but drivetrain is new to me.

I would run 5.29's.

I would have to agree on the gearing call, best performance mod you can do with larger than stock tires.

Awesome. Thanks all!

With your 33" tires 4.88 would be good ratio if you have a 5 spd manual, or 5.29 if you have an auto trans.

And I'm not aware of any "chip" for either the 22RE or the 3.slo.

4 or 6 cly? Ifs lift? Stock gears now? 5 speed or auto?

You could already have up to 4.88s.

6 cyl, 6" Pro Comp IFS lift , I believe stock gears, Auto.

Unfortunately, I inherited the lift so I'm not sure exactly all that may have been done to it.

5.29s and dont look back.

If you find its too low, just get bigger tires.

Check this link posted above to see what you had stock.
