37\'s

Yet another gearing question. I searched, but it seems like every thing I find is about 35's. I have an 87 K5 with a freshly rebuilt 355, TH700, np208. I am putting in a 14ff rear and new front axle. They both have 4.56 gearing them, and I dont want to get rid of them since the 14ff has a detroit in it and is brand new. Plus, it is pretty hard to find a 4.56 front axle for the price I did. Anyways, do you guys think 4.56's would be alright on a DD 87 with 37's like mine? I am getting a B&M tranny cooler that will be going in before the tires and axles do. Anyways, how do yall think this will work? Thanks.

Re: 37\'s

that should be alright.i have heard the hot ticket is 5.13's but it should be alright.if it is already geared and runs right i would not touch it.i got 4.10s with 35's,but also have a sm465 so i dont have to worry about the tranny hunting for 4th gear.

It should be fine. I run 37's with 4:10's in the 90 but it now has a th400 instead of the 700r4.
