Gear Ratio
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 27-Oct-02 AT 10:01 AM (EST)]Alright, here is my dilema, I will be running 38's next spring, right now I'm running my mighty 5.4 with 3.73 and with 35" and it's "acceptable".
I would love to go with 4.56 but my problem is that for 6 months out of the year, I run my stock 235/85/16s (31's) on the street (winter).
So I'm wondering how the 4.30's would do with the 38's ?
I can sit here all day and read the rpm charts, but paper and real life are two different things.
If I remember right, didn't chadrock run 4.30's with his 39's ?
Anyhow tell me what tire and gears you guys run and how you like the set up.
I travel mostly flats , don't come across to many mountains here in WNY.
Thanks guys.

hey yeti, i think that the 4:30 gears would suit ya the best. ive got 4:10's in my 5.4 and they arent too low. if you put 31's on it it will prolly be just right. i dont know fer sure, just thinkin out loud.
