315/70/17s too mich for 3.42s?

Yea I just do not want to get tires that are onle inch bigger than my stockers . I want a mild lift look but not with stock looking diameter tires. Being on a budget, spending 1000 for gears isn't exactly ideal. Wish I had 3.73s....stock I mean lol

check your local junkyards or local craigslist maybe you can get a set for cheap i got a 14 bolt and a front end matched set for 400 and the 14 bolt had the factory locker

i'm have 3.42s in mine now with 315/75 16s, and with the 5 speed, it ain't bad, but i wouldn't recommend towing at all. but on that same note i am building a 6 lug 14 bolt SF right now with 4.56s, an ARB air locker, and disc brakes, and i can't wait to have it out and the front regeared, oh, and to be able to actually use OD and tow again without much fuss from the clutch and trans

not trying to jack this thread but what is the normall gear ratio for the 5.7, with the 4l60e?

 

[JollyGreen]

It just depends. I'd say most 4x4 trucks were either 3.42 or 3.73. Some would of had the 3.08.

 

[JParker2012]

ok thats what I thought, Im pretty sure mine has the 3.73 ratio

check the glovebox for the rpo code its a g code gt4 is 373 and gu6 is 342 i think

And if your rear end isnt original or if your questioning the gearing 3.73 gears have 41 ring teeth and 11 pinion teeth. I have 3.73's with 33's (285-75/16) and I would not want any more than that, Which is why I have held of a 6" rcx. regearing is just too much money.
