you dont have all info needed , would need to know your ring/pinion ratio. and also was your original "green" gear the correct gear from factory. basically though for every inch increase in tire size then drop 1 tooth on driven gear. your truck probably had 30" tires 245-75-16 with 3.54 axle if so green was correct . so 35's you might look for a 27tooth white gear. the red gear probably came from a truck with 4.10 axle.
green = 31 tooth...dodge part# 5206853
white = 27 tooth...dodge part# 5206849
red = 36 tooth...dodge part# 5206858

damn, it does have the 3.54 ration, it did come from the factory with a green gear for 245-75-16, i now have 315-75-16 on the truck but also have this red gear laying around, would it be wise to put the red one in?

your better of running the green 31t gear, you need to drop teeth and not gain teeth. the red gear has more teeth than green gear, you need less teeth for bigger tire

Any good tranny shop and even the dealer can help you get the right gear for your situation. I believe your gonna need a 27 or 28 tooth. But head to either and tell them what you need and they shouldn't have a problem helping you out!
