one other thing jack the truck up and pull the cover and the ratio is on the gear...or take someone and have them spin the rear wheel one revolution and count how many revolutions the driveshaft turns...if it is five 5.13...if it is a little over 4 4.11...a little under 4 3.90...then call Me I want that rear end lol...if half way between 4 and 5 4.56...its not rocket science but it works...lol

why I am going with a dana is I can get any gear I want...pricy change over though...Tire height will help...yes bigger is better lol...but if your like Me u don't want the truck scrapping the moon lol
