Default 35s with 456s and a 300 6???!!!

Any one running this setup? I'm going with 315/70/17". I wanna know how your truck feels with a 35"
Tire and e4od and 300 6 running 3.55s and 4.56s? I'll probably run stock 3.55s for a bit then go 4.56s

Lol, how do you think it's going to feel? Like you're dragging a house. You'll want the 4.56s pretty soon.

Lol ya I know! I want to know how it will do with the 4.56s.! Or should I just swap a 5.8 in it? I haven't put many miles on the 4.9 so I'm just looking for someone running my planned setup.

I like my 4.9, but I also like the 5 speed. I experimented with gears and tires, but nothing that big.

So you think it's got stock gears? What's your door sticker say for axle code?

14 or 19..its pretty hard to see worn all to hell. It doenst jump of the line or anything but it handles itself ok. When I service the diffs here next week hopefully will get a better look at it all

Ya let me know what you find out! It's probably 19 because 14 isnt a choice. 19 is 3.55s

I've got 35's withh the 300 and I just did a front and rear axle rebuild and put in 3.73s with a ls in the back and a Detroit locker up front. I couldn't be happier with the gear ratio it's perfect for off road can still wind it up really good in first. I had stock 3.55s before the swap and they weren't bad just a little sluggish in the mud. Wasn't a huge difference but enough to notice I'm happy with the 3.73s.


Quick Reply: 35s with 456s and a 300 6???!!!
