No the 4.10s and 33's seem to be a good combo and I don't want my highway mpg's to drop any more. If I ran 35's I'd probably go with 4.56s. I get 12-13 mpg.

To anyone who thinks your thread jacking don't worry I'm learning more in every post...
Also I would like to get a good amount of flex .. When I look at rough country lifts it says add how ever much money for sway bars or upgraded sway bars didnt even know if I needed that or not . But what could be done to the rcx to het just a little extra flex?
As far as lockers and gears ... I do plan on both but was thinking I mite do lockers first
And lastly , lake marry kid , I've never got tired of seeing that truck to be honest I think it is one of the nicest trucks on the entire site and you have a ton of flex going on there .... Can dome one explain the whole tub and removing sway bars vs lift kit coils and all that please ?

Bronco graveyard has their own lift... it might be superlift I never figured that one out. But they offer a superflex style of lift that would work so much better than rcx, but you pay for it.
http://www.offroaders.com/tech/Lunchbox-lockers.htm To whom ever it was that I was talking to about lunchbox lockers.
basically you take this bomb lookin thing.. and put it inplace of your stock spider gears. Most of them will only go in place of an open diff so if you have stock LS there are less options.
If you wheel hard or run high power or over a 35" tire you'll break that stuff though.
Klitch broke one or two of em on his truck, granted he has a blown 5.4 with sas and I think 37's.

It would be cheaper to buy the other lift kit than to buy an rcx lift then change out the springs.
Deaver leafs are expensive and any coil that big will be as well. The drop brackets and all that stuff you would use from the rcx kit are the cheaper part of any kit.
Extended radius arms versus drop brackets and stock arms would help a good bit too.
I was also told that poly bushing actually inhibit flex and stock replacement rubber is best.

aye, im not sure either about how much flex would affect onroad performance, but i personally would do a trade off, being in colorado, i dont see much sand/mud style ****, its mostly boulders crawling over... yea the kit on bronco graveyard is nice, my rough country was 600~ (around 800 now) from NTWonline when i bought it.... but had ida known about bronco grave yard just 3 days prior to order...i woulda ordered their superflex...still thinkin about doing leaf swap and coil swap sooner or later and selling my leafs and coils from rough country to my neighbor, he will just have to get the other required stuff
in regards to the lunchbox lockers, ive been hearing nothing but good things about the aussie lockers..... and being that my trucks a 5.8l mostly stock (minus air flow modifications) i dont see it actually being the power that destroys it, but rather the terrain.... i really wish i could get the E-Lockers (i dispise air lockers) but thats just to much money.... id rather invest that extra money in a xfer case doubler for incredibly low range
