What would ya'll recommend on the closest to stock handling gears when running 40" Toyo M/T's

 

When I was looking for gears for my truck the tallest ones that I remember seeing was 5.13s. If it were my I would probably go the 5.13s, I think the 4.88s might not be enough. Might be wrong but thats just my .02

 

your getting 40's ???

 

FYI Tall gears are 3.08, short gears are 5.13, IMO. 5.13 is a heck of a lot of gear, although a 40 inch tire is one heck of a tire.

 

Yes Sir! 40's with 22's

 

What do you think of the 4.88's I want closest to stock cause im on the highway alot aswell and dont want the truck redlining at 75!!

 

If you have the specs on the tires, try this link below. Your tranny is going to be 0.67 your final drive is going to be your gear set (4.88 or 5.13)

I plugged in my stock combo and it seemed to be right on.

use this formula

(new tire diameter/old tire diameter)*Old Gear Ratio= New Gear Ratio

I have also heard that a good rule of thumb is to take your tire diameter and multiply it by 0.12. Ex (40 * .12 = 4.8) so according to this you should run the 4.88

 

thanks guys looks like im going with 4.88's

 

Lowest gear set you can get... 40" tires.. get the 5.13's IMO

 

im gonna have to look into it but I think the 5.13's might be alittle to high, well see

 

last time i looked the lowest gear you could get for the 9.75 rear is 4.88, but if they do make 5.13 then that is what you should get for 40", good luck

 

I might have missed it in a previous thread but im curious, how are you going to achieve enough lift to clear 40's? and what wheels are you going with?

 

8" Rize suspension lift, 2.5 Donahoe racing spacer(Installed), 4" Skyjacker AAL, with minor trimming they'll fit

As for wheels im going with the 22x11 XD Series Diesels, and tires 40x15.5R22 Toyo M/T's

 

Considering Neal reports a top sped of over 150mph with 28-inch tires & 4.10s, you'll never come near redline with any gearset that's available if you run 40's.

I can't pull redline on 31-inch street tires and I've got a blower & 4.10s.

I think BigTruck is right...you may want to consider the shortest (highest numerically) gear that's available.

Your truck is gonna be huge. You gotta post some pics.
