Regear, I had the 3.2#'s in stock form and went to 37" rode it for a month, had to almost burn the clutch to start on a hill and 6th gear was useless. regeared to 5.13's and used the AEV procal to reset the speedo. It allows you to measure your tire size to the nearest 1/4" and set your gear ratio so the computer can match your speedo. run 2800 rpm at 65-70mph and getting 16-17 mpg. 4 wheel low will idle up almost any pitch

also if your mechanically inclined you can change your own gears, shops were quoting $1200 per axle plus parts, I spent $400 in parts and $300 in tools and a lot of useful knowledge for future axle work.

Thanks for the info everyone! I knew the gear ratio was low for what i wanted and the research and the performance would suffer but thought I missed something big if all it took was a box. Thanks for clearing that up. Lol. Can't believe that dude told me that...
