That's a good idea. You should have plenty of power now with that V8. Go to 5.13's. It will give you a larger ( AKA stronger ) pinion.

Well since this is your area of expertise, how would I go about putting limited slip in my D35 TTB on my ranger. I dont want a locker becasue it will beat shit up to much going fast and 4x4ing in the snow may not be so good.

I read that some people put jeep D35 stock limited slip carriers in the D35, can this be done and if so what year jeep or what am i looking for specifically?

Thanks a ton! I always loved your truck and its one of the modivating builds that started me on mine!

As I understand it jeep carrier is the way to go although I have never done that myself. I'll get more info about it next time I am at the shop.

Thank you! I'm pretty excited about how well the truck works now.
