I'm trying to find out how bad undergeared axles will be for my rig.
Drivetrain is an unknown HP turbo 5.3L LS, 4l80e, Blackbox doubler(2.7 gears), and LC "splitcase"(2.3 gears) Tires will be 43" x14.5" swampers. Axles currently are KP Dana 60s with rear D60 but I'm leaning toward a change(Tundra center with SD60 outers). Intended use is Rubicon with driving from Georgetown and maybe some freeway driving(50/80)
How bad will 4.30:1 gears be with the 43s?
I'm trying to be a cheap bastard and $400 for gears alone make me cringe a little bit. An ARB or other selectable locker will be installed so cost of install is already out of the equation. A "side" benefit I'm looking for is common third member for three rigs.
