Choosing rear gears
So while I recently picked up a second rear diff. I am not happy with my purchase and the hunt continues.
So I have been scouring Craigs List for donors. I am finding plenty of rear diffs, but of course what they come from is an issue.
Width, bolt pattern, and gear ratio are my biggest concerns. I dont mind the fabrication aspect of trailing arm perches, shock mounts, and panhard bar mounts.
After digging for a calculator online, and scrounging up all the needed variables, here are my findings.
This first pics are of calculations based on the normal cruising speed of 65 MPH
The second set of pics is based on MY typical cruising speed at 70 MPH
Im thinking Ill likely go for somewhere between 3.23 and 3.50
THESE ARE ALL FIGURED AT 65 MPH
THESE ARE ALL FIGURED AT 70 MPH
