    Well i've been thinking about gears for a while and i want to know what ratio is best. I've been thinking about 4:10s, i know they'ed move these 33's easily. But i know im gonna go to 35's eventually. So would 4:56 be best to help my 4.2. I want what ever is gonna help get up and go and not kill gas mileage. Im thinking 4:10s on 35's would still be ok?

    jkjk id say since you have a 4.2 go with 4:56s or 4:88s so you only have to do it once

    If your going to do it you might as well go 4:56 with the v6. You can go 35's or bigger.

    4.56 if you'll eventually have 35's

    I know vano has 4.10's with 34's and he said they turn em over good

    Well the spacers up front have my upper control arms maxed out, so i figured i'd get those springs and new upper control arms and just a 4'' block to the rear and i'd be clearing 35's. And of course i'd be getting some 20x10 chrome xd monsters and nitto's. Its just gonna take me a while to save up for all of that. :jester: I just dont want to over do the ratio.

    4.56 or 4.88s would be good. 4.11s for mine brought back the power, but yours will be hurtin still with them so go up a size or 2.
