unmatched gears

[tpking]

if someone had 4.56 in rear and 3.73 in front in 4wd how big of problem would that cause..

Some will say it F's chit up and some say it won't. I'd say make em both the same so you don't have to worry about anything. Unless you don't plan on using 4x4...

As long as 4wd is never engaged it's not an issue...when ya do lock it up on hard pack, you can kiss your sissy lil chain driven aluminum cased tcase good bye, lol.

If you are on anything other than super sloppy goopy mud having miss matched gears will mess a transfercase pretty good.

Personally, I wouldn't...

The problem arises because your tires are turning at different speeds.

What do you think's going to happen? The front's going to take off and leave the rear behind? Make us a video.

hrmm i could put my 30's on back and leave the 33's on front haha

oil will leak from somewhere under the truck!

I will trade you my 4.10 geared 7.5 for your 4.56 straight up so that you can try it.

 

[tpking]

well i have the gears to match the front just not comfy with trying to do gears myself and to broke to pay someone lol

You'd need a tire that's 18% larger in diameter in the front. 33's out back and 39.5's up front for example.

I had 5.13s in the rear and 3.55s up front for awhile. I never used 4x4 though. However if I had gotten stuck that winter I think I would have been able to get out in 4x4...shouldn't hurt anything if it's on a slippery surface for just a bit.

anybody know the best gearing to run with 33's?
