@Naveronski ?

 

Morning Frank

 

@ETXTacoma have you ever towed anything in the 3k lbs range? Reason I ask is I im looking at doing the same but Brady Wise has 4.88s and says they are garbage so he wants to jump to 5.29 so its making me question whether the 4.56's will be enough

 

Or anyone else towing with 4.56's I need some insight.

 

Are you going to be doing a tune in addition to the gears, or gears by themselves?

 

Brady is 3rd gen. Not sure its compatible with 2nd gen. All I know is I cant use the same gears as a2nd gen for my OR.

 

I wasnt looking to like trade gears with him or anything.

 

Well Im planning on just doing gears and getting new leaf springs so I can get rid of the blocks I have. Havent looked at doing a tune at all. Been spending too much money on the RZR to justify working on the truck. But since it sucks at towing so bad I need to do something before I just sell it for a Tundra.

 

Dakars and Timbren bump stops

 

Thank you. Doesn’t sound like my line of work though.

 

Got the ome 3" lift leafs already

 

Add a leaf also? Heavy duty packs?

What bumps?​

 

Just mid range, no bumps other then whats there already. Just doing the bare minimum cause it gonna get all torn out eventually anyway.

 

What @SuperBad was saying is that 3rd gens are geared wildly differently, what's good on a 3rd gen will be bad on a 2nd. I'm happy with 4.56 on both versions of 285s but have yet to tow with them.

 

Do you happen to know what your rpm's are at doing 70-80?

 

Nope, don't even pay attention. Just be happy gas is cheap in TX

 

I know im just bitchin, when I went to crossbar ranch up in Oklahoma a couple weeks ago I literally got 100 miles to one full tank

@TACORIDER might be able to provide some input. I think hes running 4.88's on 35's and tows vehicles sometimes and his custom built rtt trailer.
