Well, I figure this way.. currently running 3.9vg with 3.55 and 31x10.5x15,
drastic wheel reduction in power.. can still turn them but not well. 3.92
would be good, but I am left in same boat as im in now, no ground clearance,
hence the axle swap. Axle will have minumum of 4.56 powered by 318 and
turning likely 35x12.5x15(16) not sure on rims yet prolly be 15 though

If I dont like the wheel torque, then I will get 5.11 or so..

With the way my lucks going I wont get to start my truck till its to late to
make the meet....

Wifes car had a blow out on Thursday, got a new Badyear GTII 225/50R16 on it
saturday morning only to find out that the rim is fscked.

Of all the flat tires and rim problems I have seen or caused, never have I
seen anything like this..
Only one spot(inner edge) of rear wheen is damaged. About a 1 1/2" flat
spot its balanced now but my new tire has a warped lump to it.. so off to
the dealer today to see what they got.. that or every friggin tire shop
around till I find some some1 has taking off to replace with custom..

Ebay had a set for $150 bid.. so I may have to go that route 8*(
