its not a mud dragster!!! d*mn if i hit 90mph on i truck this tall i dont know what the h*ll would happen, i only considered the dual cases because i know that a bunch of trucks that size, and with that big and bigger tires run them, all i know is that when you completely have a 53" or whatever size tire go under mud, you need a lot a gear/torque to get them things spinnen enough to clear the voids in the v-treads.

however he is not saying that you have to be a dragster or your truck is actually gonna be runnin 90mph down the highway, however you DO need a lot of wheelspeed to keep up momentum. i think you would only be hurting yourself doubling cases. in fact i doubt you'd ever need the 3:1 kit in the 205! i remember in my white truck with 39's i could easily get up 70-75 mph wheelspeed in lo-range and that kept me from getting stuck most times!
what transmission are you running? i am curious to calculate your final drive ratio depending on what case you run!

Right now you have a Mazda 5spd in your truck. If you are serious about the 24" + lift and 53" tires, you need something that will handle them. The 347 stroker will hold out for a while, but not long....You need a 460 minimum, Np435 or C6, 205 tcase to handle it.
I'm just wondering what your redline is on your 347?
