Gearing For Bouncers

little bit here http://www.hardlinecrawlers.com/forums/index.php?topic=52422.0
Thanks. Kind of what I'm looking for but not exactly. In trying to figure out if I should keep my current tires for playing on the hills or go bigger. Its a funky combo. I can't change my axle gears or T case. But I can change tire sizes.
Goal is to race with the 205 in high range on 49" tires.
For trail wheeling and maybe some bouncer hills if I feel froggy Ill put the case in low and throw bigger tires on it.
Now here's the funky part. It only revs to 4,000rpm max. Axle gears are 6.14.

don't think it'll happen unless you're running huge HP. I'm 500+ on 43s and there's no way I could kill hills in high range. can I trail ride and race certain obstacle courses in high range, yes. better have tons of cooling as well. 5.38s in my diffs

unless you are running planetary axles that are like 22:1 then you won't be on the high side with 49s!
Or a helicopter engine.
Maybe you should tell a little bit about your rig, and why you can't change or add gears?

Its a diesel not a gas engine. Haven't had it on the dyno but have a pretty good idea of what it makes. Ill go with 500+ since I don't have a sheet. It turns 49" tires in high range just fine.
Trying to decide between 49's, 54's, and 59's for on the trails.
Axles are Meritors.
NP205 case
Photobucket is being stupid and won't work. Its the Shell Shock mega truck. Just was curious what some of you guys are running so I get an idea. With a limited RPM band it makes gearing pretty important.

Well I mean, the suspension and all is set up the same, right? Hell I'd go with the 59" tires and not an inch less. That higher center of gravity will be perfect for killing hills. :****:

Its not like a typical mega truck. If I could post a pic it would be easier to understand. It has no drop cradle, has a flat belly, has trailing arms, its 106.5" wide and 81" tall on 49's.
Anyone have a way to post a pic other then Photobucket?

That's it but that's a old pic. It had 12.4's and 1 tons then. Its now lower, on Meritors, different suspension, and on 14.9's.
Its in the beggining of this video.

Unfortunately I had some engine issues and only had it out twice this year, ran like crap both times. New engine is almost ready to go back in, that's why In asking this.

Am I missing something? Neither of you said what trans you were running, so how are you figuring RPM and wheel speed with a ratio missing? Just curious.
