try gettin lower gears like the 4.10's it should be less work for the engine. i have a four banger in mine with 33's and 4.10's it does good until you get in fifth gear.

guy is selling an explorer 8.8 trac lock but its got 373's. in weyburn...
wants 200. do you know of all parts automotive in regina?
guy named kieth gets me and my dad sick deals and i'd be willing to share the discount. and diff there is 200 pulled for me.
maybe i could get him down under that...
also, bucks autoparts(cheap shit) will be opening again on jan 4?
so they might have some gears. besides that u could buy gears online and have a shop set em up for you. prolly lookin at over 1500 bux all in tho so it might not be worth your while...
Hey another saskatchewan boy! and yeah, I got a D35 carrier with a lock rite locker and 4.56's already installed shipped to my house for $380. If I could find a deal like that for an 8.8 I would be happy haha
