What I got:
2001 ECSB 4x4
4" Lift 325-60-18 tires
Stock 3.73 gears
6.0L swap

What would be the best gears to go with on my truck? Would 4.10 be adaquate or should I step up to 4.56? I live in the mountains and would just like to regain a little torque. I am also going to add an E-locker with that. Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks
Nick

 

FYI - did a calc on your tire size and it comes up to 33.4" in diameter.

Going from 3.73's to 4.10's did make a difference on my truck, in off the line torque (increase) and mileage (decrease). However, I don't know if they would be adequate to overcome your tire size and mountains. I'm sure someone better experienced will chime in.

 

I would go with a 4:10 with that set up.

 

I agree!

 

I was thinking 4:10 also but I have been talking to slow *** jeep heads who like to go 1 mph over rocks. When I am down in denver I don't really feel any need to re-gear but as soon as I get back in the mountains, its a dog.

 

sounds like you know what you want,...........4.10's

 

You have gone up about 10% in tire diameter so a 10% increase in gears numerically will get you back too what you had stock. So 3.73 * 10% = 4.10 should get you to where you want to be.

 

Thanks for the input

 

I HAVE AN 03 TAHOE THAT I PUT 4.56 GEARS IN AND I REALLY LIKED IT UNTILL I BURNED UP 2 SETS OF THEM TOWING. (BEWARE OF PRECISION GEARS)

 

4.10's
