    Do you guys all run like 4cyl autos? 4.10 on my truck would alow me to rub 35 with the speedo reading right. 3.55 is what i need to run 30s and my speedo read right

    nope, im a v6 5 speed... its just nice having the bottom end torque, and these things are already fast so why not gear em to be faster in the rev range i actually use

    But yout speedo is still off. I thought about doing 4.10 till I realized how bad it will effect my speedo, at 70mph I already read 8mph to slow. 3.55 will correct that for me. But i guess if you dont mind it being off and able to use your tac to figure out how many miles you traveled then its ok.

    I have 8.4 rear end with 4.10 waiting to go on but its a 6 lug so ill have 2 different lug patterns until I get 4x4 pickup spindle. My little 4 banger struggles to get 31s turning even with LCE stage 2 clutch and light weight flywheel.

    With the oem flywheel it struggled even more n burned up the clutch a few months after putting the 31s on. Heavy flywheel are better with bigger tires when wheeling/offloading. Right now its my DD n doesn't see much dirt. When I get the LT kit it will see more dirt n then I will swap the flywheel but keep the stage 2 clutch

    Heavy Flywheels hold your engines rotational inertia which keeps RPMs up
