Hello all,
I've just started poking around and I figured before I waste a few days of research, I should just ask this knowledge base. The search index wasn't pulling up what I wanted so forgive me if this has been asked.
My '09 has been lifted on 33's for the better part of a decade, and I've always noticed it's sluggish. With factory 3.73 gearing, it isn't really a surprise. I've been back and fourth on what ratio to run, and although 4.10's seem to be the easiest to find, I think 4.56's would offer me the low end I'm looking for and better towing as I have a small single axle travel trailer (read as: windsail). I've found plenty of gear sets on Summit for the 8.8 I have from factory, but has anyone put them in the front? I believe it's a Dana 35, correct?
Has anyone done 4.56's on 33's in an automatic Ranger? Any information you have would be appreciated!
Thanks!
