Do i need a new carrier ?
and got this reply from everyone:I need to find some prebuilt axles with 4.10s in them
(all paraphrased for your enjoyment):twak: dude! don't do that. You want 4.56s or 4.88s because you know you're gonna want bigger tires sometime, and they're great even on the size you have now!
31s - 32s is good with me, maybe 33s TOPS.
would that be all you need to buy if you got the rustys gearing speical, just what comes with it, no extra things?
Ford 32's, you want 4.56. For 33's, 4.56 or 4.88. If you think you may ever go over 31's, go deeper than 4.10 gears.
A lot of people don't understand that you arent' driving a v8 with a non overdrive transmission. Its a 6 cylinder with an overdrive, and it wants to be up between 2600 and 3000 RPM's on the highway.
I just spent a good bit driving an XJ with 235/75/15 tires and 4.10 gears, which we swapped out for axles with 3.55 gears after two weeks. It lost 3 mpg.
