    It's dependent on the tire size, not the lift.

    The short answer is 4.56 for V6, 4.88 for 4cyl.

    YMMV.

    Enter your stock tire size and your new tire size into the calculator. There's a gear ratio calculation at the bottom of the page that'll show what will give you better performance vs. better fuel economy.

    So here's the deal with the arbs. He called them and they are only willing to give him 2 percent off (bullshit!) And the profit margin with arbs are already extremely low. So the price he can do isn't going to be crazy good like we all hoped. But it should be better than you can find anywhere else.

    A front auto-locker is just a bad idea IMO, especially on an IFS front end.

    Your truck, your life, your decisions. But be sure to do some research and make an informed decision before you go that route.
