The

3:73's work ok with the 35s but a re gear is much better performance and mpg wise.
Yeah, i plan on just waiting for the regear.. I know i will suffer on performance and mpg but oh well. Any Ideas on what i would get for gas mileage? I was thinking around 8 ha, i get about 15 now.

Ill be running 5.13's and 38's (supposed to be 40's) and my RPMS @ 65 will be around 2700

I thought 88's were as big as we could go with these rearends?

Hell I had to grind down a tooth just a hair to get the "cross pin" to slide back in when I did mine.

5.4?

I got around 9-11 with 35's and 3.73's

I used to get 11-13 with 88's and 35's

13 may be pushing it.

more like 12.8 or so if I was really easy on er.

How could I forget that thread?

I thought you were referring to our normal axles.

Did you catch the threads about my upcoming project?

I think I did see a couple of replys from ya on it.

for the record, yes, i had to extend the rear driveshaft on my truck 1 1/4''. i am running the fabtech kit up front, BUT custom 6'' atlas leaf springs (no blocks) in the rear. my truck is a supercab flareside for those not familiar with it.
