i am going to change my 3.08 gear ratio to 4.11 or 4.10 to run my small 35's, i was doing this so that i could put bigger tires on it someday. is there anything i should know before i do this?

what size so you plan on getting in the future?

 

[Blue Meanie]

what size so you plan on getting in the future? and what kind of power are you making? i only have a 305 and i am running 39.5's with 5.13's to make up for the underpowered almost dead engine. also, how do you use your vehicle?

4.10's are OK for 35's but if you plan to go to a bigger tire in the future, save yourself about a thousand bucks and put in the right gears for the next tires now. /forums/images/icons/cool.gif

I have 35's on my suburban witha 700r4, and Im running 4.56, and its great. I would personally go 4.56 so then you have some flex room in the future.

do 4.56's you wont regret it.. it's like adding an extra 50 oponies to your motor... so to speak...

With O/D, I would go to 4.56. with a 3-speed, stick to 4.11. I have O/D with 35's and 4.10's. I turn 2000rpm on the freeway, so it's definately not too low of a gear.

If you have a O/D trans then go with 4.56 gears. I currently have 35's and 4.10's and it is not enough gear for the trans. The trans wants to "search" between 3rd and O/D. This will burn up a 700R4 real fast if not careful. I have 4.56's ready to install now. Even if you have a TH350 or TH400 I would still go with the 4.56's if you plan on bigger tires in the future. I ran TH350 with 35's and 4.56's on my last rig and it worked out well.

If you've got a 700 4.56's are great. A 3spd then 4.10's would be a better choice...

[MudbogAD]

4.56's all the way

 

[Rebel88]

forget that if youre going up to a 39 or similar in the future for the 700 to be in optimum rpm range you need 4.88s...i know cuz thats what i just put in mine for 39 boggers
