i was thinking that too but 4.56's seemed to low for my 35's and i could still make the 37's chirp with the 3.55's so i think 4.56's would be ok but im still thinking about 4.88's

A guy over on DT is running 37" with a 2500 v10 and he just got 4.88's put in. He wishes he had gone 5.13.

yea, but i also dont want my engine to have to turn 3000rpm to do 60 on the highway. I know there is a math formula to figure that all out. But i have no idea how to do it, need an engineer for that kinda stuff

So where are the axle guru's??? I was reading mopar action (august 2010 iuse) and it says that you can use the stock lsd in pretty much and axle with and gear ratio and any carrier. Anyone know if this is true cause if it is i would love to know if the LSD out of my 9.25 would fit in my dana 60..

it was pulling out onto the highway with a slight grade and punching it cause i had to cross 2 lanes of traffic. I think the stars where alined and the moon in its fourth orbit or something like that, but what im trying to say is conditions were prefect and i got lucky and i still dont know if i want to go lower then 4.56's
