Would there be an advantage to swapping the axle out of the rear axle out of my 85 d100 w slant six, unknown gear ratio, and putting in 9 1/4 from my parts ramcharger with 2.92 gear ratio......

Thanx

Well you would have a beefier axle. I'm assuming its a 2wd, if it is you have an 8 3/8 axle already, so with the 9 1/4 you would have more beef. But the 2.92 ratio will either help your gas mileage, or really kill it. I'm not sure.

Check the faq section for axle identifying

Yeah this

If your going to be putting on bigger tires 2.92 gears will be too high and you'll probably break something.
