Re: 4.11 Gears - Rear end

Also would the original 3.73 be to low a gear to run with that engine tranny combo?
If you're wanting this thing to be a daily driver and someting you can crusie around and get decent fuel economy with, I'd stick with the 3.73's really. That is a deep enough gear to give it plenty of pep off the bottom, but keeps your RPM's down at crusing speeds. 3.55-ish be even better I think. Unless your just wanting to burn tires off all the time and/or slick it up and take it to the strip (which is fine, your project!), i'd stay with something higher than a 4.11 for sure.
