Gears for a 4.2
Just wondering what rear gears I should get. It's a 99' 4.2 sclb with a 5 speed, (soon to be a 4"/6" drop), it's cat-less with shorty headers and a cherry bomb pro, stock 30" wheels and I'm pretty sure it has stock a stock 3.08 in the diff. I've been thinking 4.10's because I don't really care about top speed, and I can imagine 4.10's would probably make a fairly large increase in torque, but I don't want the truck to sound like it's about to explode while cruising at highway speed either lol and obviously that would increase engine wear and be bad for mileage as well. So I'm just wondering what you guys think the shortest gear I could get away with is?
