on this thread alone look at the trucks, we all build these things... mine included, my truck has about 10k worht of parts in it... and i did just about all of it... including the trans swaps, the transfer case rebuild, axle swaps, suspention mods and i didnt even do the gears... i havnet done them yet, but i am not going to do them period, il sending it in... could i do it, probably, with lke 5 peoples help, and alot fo research... but im not going to.. to many variables...

also cause when i do my gears im doing 5.38's ox lockers and 35 spline upgrade all around along with the front manual lockers... but thats all stuff i have to save for... it will be a while

 

Ok here it goes. To Miami Son, I dont think you are being a sexist pig and I know its not just because I'm a woman. I should have been more specific in my previous post and given more detail. I know they come in a set and I do know that all of it has to be changed out, not just one thing. I did do it myself, however, if you want to look at it from a nother perspective I had help. I had several phone calls and visits from an old friend of my dads that is a certified mechanic. He thinks of me as a daughter and is there for me when I need help with stuff like this. I joined this thread for any advice and suggestions that I think can help someone expand thier knowledge about trucks. When I said that I took it to a shop and had it looked over it might sound like a waste of time but he did take it apart and checked it over. I am the kind of person that will always have an experienced person check my work if I do something I'm not quite sure about. I always look for ways to expand my knowledge. All the advice that I have received on here is always appriciated! I'm not the type of woman that gets offended easily. My dad and brother raised me better than that..lol.. On that note, please let me say that if anyone on here thinks I'm a pretencious b!tch who knows everything, I'll be the first to say that I dont. So I do want to apoligize to any one on here that I gave that impression to. I joined this thread, like I said before, to expand my knowledge of trucks and hopefully learn any thing new that I didn't know before.

 

There guys, put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Good going, Miss Sparkie!

 

Thank you Sir Charlie1935. Like I said I wasn't out to torque anyones crank or start any arguements. I should have taken my time when I posted the thread but I was in a hurry and just posted my comment with out any explanations.

 

so what lift did you go with for the 37s? what was your cost on all the parts for the gear swap?

Im only asking cause i have the same set up and want to change mine too.

and how are your RPMs now compared to stock? does it run about the same or higher in town or highway ???

 

Off road has the 4.10 gears. non off road 4x4 has the 3.72, 2WD has 3.55

 

Way to go girl!!! On another note, very good rearend pros don't gett'em right, first time, every time.

 

For me to change from the 3.92 to the 4.56 total cost was about $600. That was for me to replace and change out everything. For the lift I went with 6 inches of body and suspension. My RPMs run a little higher but not much.

 

cool , thanks

you gonna post a picture of that rig now that its all done?

 

I wish it was all done... lol.. now that the mechanical stuff is finished, it's gettin a paint job. I am gonna post some pics as soo as i get this beast finished. So excited I cant wait to get it done completely. I did take some pics before i started painting gonna try to get them posted as soon as i can.
