Re: Axle Help..

Is your daughter going to use it for a mall cruiser or off-road use? Lots of highway use or around town? I think 70's 1/2 ton autos were 3.70 ratio, 4 speed 4.11. I have 74 axles in mine with 3.70 ratio with 28" tall tires which seems to be the best combination of around town/highway/off-road for me.
