still a little confused on regearing. i know 4.56's are recommended for 35's but i've also heard they aren't the best for highway driving at higher speeds which is the majority of my driving and they kill your top end. I plan on moving to 37's eventually and i want to restore low end torque but still be able to drive all the highway miles i do without feeling like my transmission is trying to commit suicide lol. what would be best? 4:10? 4:88? stick with 4:56?
If I understand all the gear threads ive read over the past 6 months this is what ive come up with. 3.73 for stock tires and some 33s 4.10 for 33s 4.56 for 35s 4.88 for 37s and up. If you do mostly city driving, go offroad, tow, and do a little highway driving stick to the chart. If you do mostly highway driving then move the gears down a spot. From what ive read, nobody with 35s has been disappointed with 4.56 gears so thats what im going with. Hell str8 six has 4.88 with 35s doesnt he? Sent from my Galaxy S3
Here's a good calculator Gear Calculator: Use Our Gear Calculator for Proper Gear Ratios Another good one http://www.ringpinion.com/Calculators/Calc_RPM.aspx If you want from 31s to 35s with 3.73s, you would need 4.22s to go back exactly stock. Jumping up to 37s would require 4.45s to be stock. 35s with 4.56s would be almost the same as running 31s and 4.10s, which is what I have stock. I say go with 4.56s and make this a poll!
can't make it a poll :/ MODS! yeah my main question is what gear would be best for Mostly highway driving and restoring low end torque. i mean i do offroad occasionally and i rarely tow...and i still wana be able to get on it every now and then
You cant have the best of both worlds bud lol if you plan on jumping to 37s go 4.56. Sent from my Galaxy S3
see i don't know the both worlds lol. i've heard it all. i know i probably won't gain much mpg. . would 4.56 be best for .....highway driving
i want gears now.. lol i can't stand having to almost floor it just to get the truck to drop a gear to switch a lane
