Just been wondering how many of us use 2.73 ratio axles ?

2.73 Axle Ratio Poll

I had one 2.73 12bolt rear on my Blazer-80 with 35" tires. Slow acceleration ? YEP ! But when I got the thing up to cruising speed it was really comfortable
. Then, after a while, the "ears" holding the u-joint on my rear driveshaft expanded and started to squeak. To much stress turning those tires with that ratio I guess
. Oh well....I was new to this whole Blazer thing and had no clue about ratios at all.

I have 2.73 gearing to with 33", 700R4 and a 350.
I think with the automatic transmission it`s a little to much i hardly use overdrive. Thinking of chancing to 3.42 or 3.73 not higher becuase i like the low rpm on th highway`s.
