Subject: Re: Rear End Swap
Hey Johny,
That's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion.
What tire size/transmission are you using with your 4.11s?
I wanted to go to 4.56s, but I really doubt that the 4.56s will be that
compatible with my 31" tires. It would be great around town, just as long as I
never got on the highway.
So, I went with 4.11s. It's going to be a posi front and a detroit locker in the
rear.
This particular 2.9 has already cost me one rear end, (With the 3.45 ratio) and
I am curios to see how the 4.10 will stand up. The shop has guaranteed me that
if I can kill it, they'll put in another for just the cost of labor.
We'll see..
Adam
