My B2 FW SAS

[1985Ranger124]

Ok, so I got my axles out and am saving money to start building them.
Goin with 4:88s on 36" tsl's and probably detroit locker

Go with 5.13's!

 

[1985Ranger124]

I would go with them except this is going to be my daily driver and i need it to go pretty fast. Can you post a picture of your coil buckets and shock absober tower i would likw to see a close up of how you did it. Thanks

 

[59bisquik]

I will take some pics of the buckets and shock mounts later today.

As for the gears...trust me... 5.13's! I drive mine on the freeway all the time. 70-80 is no problem!

 

[1985Ranger124]

You also have a 4.0l and i have a 2.8l

 

[dangerranger83]

With a 2.8 on 36's....your going to want 5.13's!!!!!

 

[1985Ranger124]

What gear a ratio are you running right now dangerranger

 

[59bisquik]

2.8... Even more of a reason for 5.13's!

 

[dangerranger83]

I have 3.73's.....and ya she is a pig but not as bad as everybody would think but it kills my in town gas mileage...getting 10mpg in town and 20mpg highway and she rarely see highway driving. The gear charts in the library say i need at least 4.10s.

 

[59bisquik]

4.10's??? Mine came stock with 4.10's... 35's work well with 5.13's.

 

[dangerranger83]

Putting 4.10'a in mine wouldnt be to hard. If I found an 8.8 with 4.10's then just have to regear the front to match it. But I'll wait until I need to do that.

im runnin 513s with 38s in my dd. i love it for normal wheeling and daily driving. but not soo good for crawling. im getting between 15-18mpg and approx 2400 at 60 in 5th

 

[59bisquik]

I only get about 15mpg highway with my 4.88's, 35's and 4.0/A4LD combo. But then again, I got around 14 when the rig was bone stock!

38's, 5.13's and crawling... thats an easy fix! DOUBLER!!! Probably one of the best mods ever!

definetly have plans for a doubler in the near future, but im not sure if i even want to waste my time with a 1350-1354 since i do plan on 1tons and a 5.0, then just have to pick what trans, and tcase setup. i dont really want to use good money for bad, again(1/2 tons). much rather go big the first time, and not wish i had done something else to begin with.

 

[dangerranger83]

Im getting 10-11mpg. No matter how I drive her and even before my SAS and tire upgrade, it was the same way. It does get better mileage if I take her into the high rpms before shifting (5,000 in first) and dont shift into 4th as fast as I can, keep her the lower gears as much as I can now and in her torque range.
