Can anyone recommend a company for custom gearing?

    I desperately want a middle ground between first and second gear on the 3rd gen. I honestly believe that a gap closing gear would do more for this truck's acceleration than the few psi of boost that the semi-closed deck could handle, but I have no idea who I would want to get that from. Before anyone jumps down my throat on truck gear ratios and what's proper, my truck is just as much my sports car as it is my mountain-capable camping and skiing vehicle. Any ideas are much appreciated!

    many here will agree with you. like me.

    i don't have any suggestion at this point, but i'd just like to add in that if you're actually doing some custom work on the tranny then you'll definitely want to lower the gear ratio of your Reverse as well. the long Reverse gear is a constant problem for any kind of load.
