Gearing Question
I own a 94 F-150 4x4. It was originally a 300, 5 speed, with 3.08 gears. I swpped out the engine for a rebuilt 351w and upsized to 33" tires. I installed a 6" suspension lift and swapped in 3.55 geared front and rear ends. What gears would be the same as 3.55 with stock tires?

what was the stock size tires? that makes a huge difference
Assuming it had 235/75-R15 originally approx a 29" tire then to get the same gear ratio with 33s as those with 3.55s closest would be a 4.10 ratio

You will have to change the carrier to put 4.10's in the front. Good time to upgrade to a limited slip or locker. I run a trax lock in mine.
