Why do you think you need 5th?

I had to give up on my 5th gear when I went 33's with my 3.31 gears. I
can use it, but it lugs at 1700 at 65 and then I drink gas. If I keep
it in 4th which gives me a nice 2300 or so at 65 mph, I get 23 mpg.

Hi Mike,
Agreed, seeing fourth is direct anyway, locking the input with the
output, meaning no more wear and tear on your gears.

If you have 35s, you need at least 4.56s. Whether the 3.73s you have fit or
not makes no difference, they are not significantly different than the 3.07s
you have -- and, you could already have 3.73s anyway.
