6 Lb lower

I ordered a 6 pound lower to replace my 4lber. I will know soon what the difference feels like. I totally forgot to order a new belt. However, would the belt from the 4 lber work with the 6 lb? I surely hope so. Let me know guys.

unless your previous belt was slightly loose (too long) it won't work well. you'll really like the sixer.

So, what is the correct size for the 6#? the 75 or 80?

My truck has the stock pulleys. I bought the belt for the 4lber and i just wanted to know if it will work with the 6 lb pulley.

A Gate's 67.5 will work. I have factory upper pulley's and a 6lb. lower. Once you get it tuned just right your going to love the 6lb.

Thanks,

Thanks I look forward to receiving the pulley I hear that it is a big difference moving from a 4 lber. Do you feel that additional power immediately from throttle? and i think my belt is a 68" gatorback belt.

To be honest I went straight to the 6lb. pulley from factory. I was entertaining the idea of buying a "LFP" 2 set pulley (Lightning Force Performace 4-6lb. interchangable pulley.), but I was talked out of it because it's a hassel to change and I come to the realization that the 4lb would be stuck in the back of a drawer somewhere once I placed the 6lb. on it. But, it will make a difference for sure!
