Please let us know if the 4.10 gear is enough with those larger tires.
Nice truck BTW.
Thanks!
I haven't towed anything with it yet, but the 4.10s are plenty low for the 35" tires. Honestly one wouldn't be able to run freeway speeds with the OE tires. With the 35s it's about 2700 rpms at 65 mph giver take. Speedo hasn't been recalibrated, so quick check with tach and gps on phone on a county road. Would be nice to run 37s just to drop a couple hundred more rpms but 35s are the right size for that lift IMO.
It moves out quickly and will roast the tires fairly easily with a mild brake stand.
It does have a 454 though. Motor sounds stock, but it's got double the power of an emissions era 350.
