Well the 275-65-VR17 Nitto's and the stock 3:92's feel more like 3:49's!
Which isn't a lot of leverage to move a 4300lb truck!......
I figure with the 42RE's overdrive 4th gear being 0.69:1, the 456's should
feel more like a 3.00 to a 3.30 in OD and the around town driving should be
a little more snappy!
It should also help the 60' times some and lower my ET's too!
