I think I have read and re read all the articles about gear ratio swap. Maybe I'm looking for the push over the mountain to get going. Here is what I'm dealing with.
Fresh rebuilt 351w
C4
3.50 gears open diff
32x12.5 tire
Power B and steering.
The bronco gets down the road pretty good, I would like just a little more low end grunt. I don't do too much off road, not because I don't want to just haven't had enough time. Plus I need a roll cage.
Now I was thinking about going to 4.11 ? I don't intend on rock crawling, just easy off road stuff.
Also I did the math and was contemplating purchasing an entire third member with trac lock. The shop WOULd charge to remove and replace gears ect.. I would have no issues with removing one and putting one in. So I'm thinking I would be saving in the long run.
I would have to have a shop change out the front diff, I just don't want the headache of back lash and spacing.
Any recommendation appreciated. And welcomed. Let me know what you have done or are doing.
