from the 3.9 you said you had on the diff tag I'd say you had the alternative 3.92 factory ratio....no good for 35" tires...to be able to drive and actually use the overdrive on your tranny and not have it constantly shifting up and down you would want 4.56 gears with 35" tires....everything would be returned to factory ratios thaen and even your speedometer would be correct again (if you have 31" tires it as well as your obdometer and mpg calulations are all off a bit...

Thankyou. As silly as this sounds i was a former owner of a f150 that i had to rebuild. But i didnt mess with the gears inside i just replaced the entire rear axle. So any info that i can get without soundin like a dumb **** is great.
