    4.88 should be fine for 35's I heard 4.88 are a stronger set of gears than 5.29's anyway

    The higher the ratio the stronger yes, @Fernando for an auto and 33s you'll be perfect with 4.88. If you plan to step up to 35s soon (real soon) than go 5.29 otherwise that would be way overkill and probably pretty shitty to drive on 33s.

    Is this a 1st gen thing? I have been told stay 4.10 for 33's and maybe 4.56, 4.88 if 35's for my 2nd gen.

    If i went 5.29s then i would immediately purchase 35s

    4.88s i will run my 33s to the groumd then go 35s.

    35s are in my future regardless

    Ah. I thought that might be the case.

    1. *back of the truck
    2. Might want to look into getting a pallet grabber. Attach the grabber to the forklift cage or appropriately strong hard point by using a hooked chain, then run the grabber claws into the trailer, and you attach them to the center vertical runner on the pallet.

    Kind of a two-man operation, thought, so you don't have to keep climbing in and out.

    i had a guy on the forklift so when he was taking the pallet inside i was bringing the next one to the *back.

    Mainly just bitching because my desk hands did not appreciate it
