Trying to get an idea of the different options folks have on their X.

As a reminder look at the sticker on the inside of the drivers door - look for the word Axle

If you have changed yours to something else go ahead and select that from the choices.

I started out with the 3.73LS but due to some heavy towing chores we upgraded to 4.88s with a locker.

I believe all diesels had the 3.73 ls and it seems like that's half of us. When I'm not towing I wish I had 3.55's.

That's what I was thinking. Having lower RPMs on the highway would be nice.

I have a complete set of 3.55's here but they are destined for another vehicle for now. They would suck for towing. It wouldn't stay in od even on the highway I'm sure.
