I switched to 4.1s with my 32s and I almost wish I went with 4.56.

I suggest 4.56 for 35s for sure.

 

you know, a lot of people say the same thing and i sure wouldn't want to regear and wish i'd gone lower once it's done

that's a big tire, and it will have a lot more rolling resistance, so getting them moving from a stop will be a lot harder with the taller gears

gator had a good point to consider also--your driving habits will play into the equation, ie mostly highway driving, you might get a little better mpg with the 4.10, but you might have some downshifting on inclines that you could avoid with the 4.56

most of the people i've known who have gone with 35s did get 4.56 and a couple who were building off-road rigs went even lower--these guys drive chevrolet though, and the torque band may have influenced their decision

i imagine your gear guy will be able to relate his experience with both, so it might be worth it to talk with him a bit further before making the decision, because although the calculations say the 4.10 is close, there are the intangibles like driving preference, the heaver wider tire, etc.

let us know how it turns out

 

yea i do wayy more highway driving than side roads. I already have enough power. I just want my truck to be back to normal like it was stock. They are already ordered so either way its final. Ill let everyone know how it goes by wednesday night.

 

So...how did it turn out? Have you had a chance to check your mileage? What power differneces do you feel?

 

And where did you buy your gears from?

 

This really doesn't apply to you as your tires are not too aggressive (not trying to offend you here) but the lower the ratio the more likely to break something you will be. The advice before was sufficient but I agree, if you do highway <50% I'd stick with 4.11's, I'd think 4.11's would be perfect for me on the highway, maybe 4.56's. I guess this might render my opinion exempt as I've never drove on 37's stock modded.

 

I bought the 4.10's. They are awesome! My truck seems to run quieter and shifts better. My buddy put them in for me with a positrack for 3 hundo. My buddy bought them from his vendor.

 

They shouldnt be any different than 4.10 gears you where running in the Dana 60 you had in there before.

 

I beleive he put 3.73 gears into my truck because thats what it came like stock.

 

What do you mean you "think". You better call that ****er if you were about to spend a few hundred on gears you "think" you already had.

Only giving you a hard time bro.

 

Haha I know Josiah...this whole thing does sound sketchy because I dont know crub about gear or rear ends. I wouldnt come on here just to BS and look cool. Its all good. Word..
