If so, now is the perfect time to swap to lower gears. Pick a tire size, than match your gears to that.

yes i do but i dont kno **** about the ratios and what they do but a 4:10 gear is lower or higher not sure my buddy was the one that said to run the 4:10s

Than a 4.10 or 4.56 would be a good gear choise. Decide if you will be running alot on the hwy at speeds over 70 or not.. If not, I'd do 4.56s

No one addressed WHO is going to set up and adjust the new ring and pinion gears?

This is not a rip-out old, throw in new, operation.

Easiest to set up were the old 9" Fords, now gone the way of carburetors and distributors.......impish

no you will get 1 ring gear and 1 pinion gear, (reverse rotation for the front) i have not come across a kit that has the 2 sets. but also have only been looking for the front set.

A set of gears wound be for one axle.

Yes 4.56s would be a good choice. That's what I have in my 94, and will be upgrading to 35s soon.

PLEASE. Try using some grammar and punctuation. It will make reading your posts a lot easier.
As far as i think what you are asking, a set means 1 ring gear 1 pinion gear.
