thats what im doing in my 51. i thought the 5.14 was probably going to be a little bit much even though im using a over drive transmission but kept it around just encase.

i found a cab&chassis 14bolt with a 4.11 gear on craigslist for 100 bucks. 63 wms measurment which is very close to the eaton.

biggest issue i ran into is no one sells a 2 inch wide spring perch for the 14bolt axle tube. ruffstuff did have one for a 2.25 spring, i just had to grind down the sides a bit
