Should I get the gears or LSD first? Money is not going to allow both at once. Ofcourse I am also wanting to order a body lift...lol I need a second job.

Thanks

if you can afford the gears, just wait til you have enough for the LSD, it's like 500 bucks extra and you're gunna save yourself a ton of labor down the road (~$500?)

From all the forums I have read about the gearing subject the 4:10s are a pretty good compremise for all around performance and mileage.. Unless of course you are running bigger than a 33inch tire then you need to go 4.56 or even 4.88s to get the performance and mileage compremise. I was told once that most small block V-8s like 22-2300 on the highway at 70mph and these really do best if run at 2000 rpm at 60mph.. Just what I have read over and over on most forums about Dodge rams.. I am sticking with stock 245s so I am looking for a set of 3.92s or 4.10s the differance in RPMs is so minimal It should not make a differance on the highway for mileage..
