Hi, im new here, but not to fords, only vehicle i have ever owned.. anyway I have an 11' f150 screw 4x4 5.0 w/ 3.55 gears, and i am getting ready this week to put on 285s or 305s, a buddy at work has a 12' single cab short bed hemi ram, we have run them a couple times and its pretty much a dead heat, im actually a little stronger out of the hole, but I know with bigger tires and these trucks being so close he will out run me, and I just dont think I can handle his mouth... but I know the EBs come with the max tow package and a 4.10 rear end option, I am assuming it is the same front and rear diffs as mine, I was thinking about buying these front and rear ring and pinion sets from the dealer, anyone else done this sort of thing? cost?

You will lose a little of your get up and go with the 3.55. I have a 2011 crewcab with 33" tires and I put the 4.10's in it with a custom tune from VMP. It gave me back everything I lost and then some. It also corrected the speedo. I have the 5.0 and I have raced seveal Dodge's and beat them all. It will come out of the hole like it was shot out of a slingshot. Call Randy's Ring and Pinion to get your parts and install kits. They are Ford parts but alot cheaper than the dealer. Trust me it is well worth the money.

killer.. thanks, yea I thought it was kinda sad seeing his is just a regular cab short bed with the hemi, and mine is a screw...my truck is quite a bit bigger than his and still we run even, cant wait to get the 4.10s.. love the look of a hemi owner gettin dusted by the little 5.0
