[QUOTE="nvrenuf, post: 741592, member: 12593"] I run 5.86's and 43's (no o/d) in my Blazer but it's not a daily driver. I do street drive it occasionally and it's no big deal. Don't get psych'd out by the numbers, with a 40"+ tire you need a lot of gear to be proportionate again. [USER=10877]@tvguy[/USER] used to have a truck with 6.17's and 35" Boggers, he drove it all the time locally and it felt perfectly normal riding around. For those that may argue about pinion size, you can always do a D70 gear conversion in a D60 - even when it's small it's still big. One thing to seriously consider is high quality synthetic oil to combat break down from "high speed" use. I say high speed because realistically Dana, etc never intended for gears like this to be run in anything being driven normally. [/QUOTE]
