Re: '95 Sierra: setting up suspension to clear 31's

I reckon 4.9's would be pretty sweet with 235 75's.
As much as anything, I think that 5.1/6.5's would be too low off road to be of much use with a 28/29" tyre.
Yes, you can drive the car in high range without a problem - it's not ideal, but lots of people have run those tyres with standard gearing. You'll notice that the car won't pull away as well, but it won't be terrible.
Off road on flattish/easy terrain it will also still be fine. Steep or difficult terrain would be a pain though.
