I'm Awesome
I'm thinking of a gear change. I currently have 3.73s in my 96 K2500, 14 bolt full float. I was thinking of 4.56s. The truck will be used for medium towing, say 5-8K lbs, and very occasional light off roading, maybe 1-2 times a year, on what could be called blue or yellow trails. It currently has 285 tires.
Is this a good ratio for the tire size and use? Or 4.10s, or even stick with 3.73?
It has 155K miles. Is it worth changing the entire carrier, or just the gears for now? I don't plan on getting any bigger tires....these rub terribly as is. It's a massive suburban with only a 3in body lift, so it's not going to be a hard core off road rig. It's got a fresh rebuilt 454 and towing cam. I was just thinking of making it an easier tow with the bigger tires, and a little easier when on the trails.
Has anyone used SVL Drivetrain Products? Looking at summit, SVL has a ring and pinion for $187, while Yukon is $370 and up. G2 is in the middle around 270. Or is this a case of if it's too cheap, it's no good?
This is what I'm looking at:
