San Diego BS Thread.

Opinions??

IF someone was toying with the idea of 35's on a second gen. Would you go with 4.56 or 4.88 gears?

 

I know dean is running 4.88's. Did you get a chance to talk to him when we had that last meet at fiesta?

Speaking of meets. Less than two weeks away guys!

Briefly. He seemed happy with the 4.88's. Certain vehicles require additional work or carrier changes when going up in ratio, not sure if ours do and at what ratio. I haven't looked into it much

 

I want to say 4.88 but I haven't done much research.

Found this page. Says 5.29.... for 35. That just seems to much.

For my truck 4.88 is for 30-34 but different drive train.

 

I'm running 4:56s with 33's. Don't know what your final drive is, but I like mine. I wouldn't mind 4:88s with 33's myself but am not going to change them. Its not a DD though.

 

I will let you know in a couple of weeks. I have 4.56's and my 35s are on order....

But from what I have read 35's and 4.56 gears are close to stock power to weight ratio and make the speedometer/ odo closest to accurate. With 5.88's Dean said he was doing 50MPH on speedo and actually doing close to 80 on the GPS...

 

has anyone ridden boulder creek road up to julian? i've read 5? miles is paved, so would we be able to run our quads(OHV's) on it?

 

Thanks Chris, I thought 4.56 should get it about stock but wondered about the gas mileage/power trade off with 4.88's, they might rev a bit high on the hwy.
I also want to see how well they stuff in your bedsides, front should not be too big of issue, I know what's gotta get hacked there. My rear rubs a little sometimes at full twist but not straight compression.

 

I will drive to see you when it get out of the shop because the next week or so after that its getting rear glass...

 

Excellently, thanks. We'll get you all twisted up with the forklift and see how well they stuff

 

May have to pull the spacers off because the 33's stick out past the fenders about 2 inches.

 

I'll take the spacers!!

 

Not getting rid of those. Just for the stuff that Tyler wants to do.. then they go back on.

Although the fronts may not stay on...
