Title: gear choice
Post by: Squirell on October 31, 2008, 01:42:17 PM
ok i have my jeep that i switched over to 3/4 tons well they only have 3.42's, so i am goin to regear. i was thinking goin to 4.56's or 4.88's is that to much with a 355 350/208 and 40's or 38's??

i'm running 4.56s and 38.5 bogs with a 208
and i can run 2 gear in 4 low with 400 horse.
if you go with the 40s you might want the 4.88s
but i'm pretty happy with my setup

4.88s should work good I use 4.56s locked both ends with a 350/208 2nd revlimiter or 3rd pulling fine with my 42 tsls!

the few minutes i got the drive my blazer this year i was happy with the 4.56's 305/th350/np203 moved pretty good on 38.5's second time around the yard got on road n turned some dirt when i got on it.. next time around trans went out tho...
you would probably be happy with 4.56's if your motor has decent power.
