You have a V8.![]()
I've got 4.56's with 36" SX's and now i'm wishing I woulda went with the 5.13's
See, this is what I'm talking about.
My MATH says that 4.56 + 35" rubber will put me almost exactaly on 'stock' ratio. Stock ratio + V8 RBV = fun offroader.
But then guys I trust like Sasquatch say things like "I wish I was 2 more steps overgeared".
So, I remain confused. I want to buy gears, soon. And this is a large expense and I dont want to spend the money and time only to be wishing I had made a different choice after driving it for a month.
(My truck will see highway driving, I have an AOD (overdrive) transmission with a OD ratio of 1.3333)
Edit: Perhaps I want 4.88's. But that would put my highway cruising RPM at 2400. Too high for a V8, IMO
