Ok so now that I will have a new front and rear with no gear set, what gear ratio should I go with.
I don't drive on the street much but I would like to be able to occasionally and I have the 231/ 300 doubler so there are plenty of gears in the transmission to chose from.
4.88s or 5.13s I am leaning towards 5.13s
crawl ratio 139 vs. 146
rpm at 65 2223 vs 2337
What size tires do you see yourself with on there? My feet per minute right now is at 28 (and would only be 19 with rocks with a 457:1 crawl :eek: ).
35s or 37s, they both put me around 45 fpm, but if I wanted to go lower Ide order a 4:1 for the 300
Yeah, I think you will be happier with the 5.13's. You should still have plenty of gearing left for skinny pedal assaults. :D
5.13... it is a trail rig and you will never complain about having too low of gearing but don't plan on going very fast on the street
I'd go 4.88 and 4:1. I don't know why though. Seems like half the reason for the 231-300 is so you can maintain decent 2hi ratios and don't have to have stupid low gears in the axles
he may say 37's now but in a few months he will be to 40's
schweet. :D
is it going to be built-up again in time for clayton?
sure if you want to fund it, hell you fund it and I will drive it to clayton
Plans:
BMF dana 60 rear stretched to 100" WB
1st white line original axle centerline, 2nd white line new axle centerline
Triangulated 4 link using what is left of short arms
what white lines you talkin bout willis???
look at the frame under the rear wheel well
I love how you have it all ass backwards. 60's go in the front, 9"s go in the rear :flipoff2:
