My 97 auto has 3.55 gears... I'm running 245/75/16 tires and don't plan to go any bigger in the next 4-5 years, if ever. From all of the gear charts I've seen, that size and gearing is in the range of "best highway mileage". Should I just stick with 3.55 gears if I don't plan on bigger tires? Or would 4.10's be of any benefit?
This leads me to my next question...I've got a D35 thanks to the ABS. If I do stay with 3.55 gears, should I just swap in a Chrys 8.25 and do a disc brake job, or go all out on a Ford 8.8 with 3.55 gears and discs already...
The 8.25 seems like the cheaper route. I don't do any hardcore wheeling, mainly overlanding, camping, forest service roads and such.
