The tire size I plan on running is a 265/70R15 with an OD of 29.6". I am looking at two 8" center sections that are available locally, one is a 3:40 and the other a 4:11. What are your thoughts on these two ratios?
Thanks
Definitely the 4.11's - 2090rpm at 70mph, compared to 1729 for the 3.40's which will be lugging. You will get much more zip through the gears, but still cruise below 2100rpm for decent mileage. I think you will be unhappy with the 3.40's, especially with a stock engine.
