Ok awesome. Even the cross pin? Everything I read said that I will have to shave the pin or shave down a tooth on the ring gear to get the pin to pass through.

37's with 3.55 gears and my tuner set at 87tune

10-13 mpg in town 12-16 HWY just depends on my led foot lol

That's not bad. If I had the new hemi I wouldn't worry about regearing as of now. But I don't have the horses :( lol

I would go 4.56's I have the 4.7 so its not the same. But Highway at those speeds (55-60) I get 20 mpgs with 34's and 4.56's. That is the sweet spot for Mpg's with my set up.

Problem is I run 75-80mph and get 12 mpgs! lol. Thats the 4.7 just not having enough up top.

ANd yes you have to shave a little off the teeth. Its a minor issue. We all have it done.

I totally recommend the gears, I have as much or more umpf than I had with my little 29-30inch tires.

Got your pm. Thanks Dave. As soon as I get the cash saved up ill be hitting you up!!



Thank you again Dave.

A guy is trading me. These tires still have about 3/4 tread. He just down sized his f-250 back to stock and took the tires off. I'm paying for mounting and balancing, he's paying dismount lol fair trade I believe!!

Well I got a wild hair and decided to go all out and picked up Slt8's 4.88 Yukon gears. For the price I couldn't really pass it up.
