rear-end gear set
I have a '99 F-150 4x4 4.6 ltr 5 spd with the non-locking 3.55 gears. I noticed quite a difference when I went from the 235/75 tires to 265/75 tires. I play in the mud & on the trails, as well as pull a trailer on a pretty regular basis. I know I need more gear, either 3.73 or 4.10. Now although I'm not TOTALLY new to this job (have done rears on a couple of older 4x2 trucks in the past), this is my first 4x4 I wanted to re-gear myself. My question is this: Is the front any different than the rear? I'm also wanting to put in some type of limited slip or locker also. Can I just buy 2 of each and get started, or do I have to get different for the front and back (I do know the gearing has to be same for front & back)? 1 final question: What my spline count 28 or 31 spline? I would think being a truck it's 31, but I can't seem to find out anywhere I've looked. I thank you for any replies, comments, or ideas.
