new gears installed

i finished swapping in different axles wit 4.10s into my truck, and wow what a difference it made. i think it helped so muc because i run 35 inch tires and 3.55s were just to high. im gonna haul a car tomorrow so i'll see how it is with a small load. i also replaced my rear springs my drivers side one had the top of each eye broke off and 2 springs broke on each side lol. raised the rear 3 inches so i had another leaf made for the front so its almost level. and should handle the plow better but she is a rough ride. and i wouldn't recommend changing these alone the dana 60 and sterling are HEAVY

You would probably be better off with 4:56 gears running 35's, but I have no doubt it feels a lot better with the 4:10's. Did you do a SAS with a D60 or that just the axle you already had?

symonds86 What are you going to do with the 3:55? I'm considering going the oposite way. I have the 4:10 and am thinking of going 3:55.
