gears and 9 1/4 rear

Is this on your `89 in the signature? How much highway, how much wheeling? No overdrive in `89, correct?

I have 4.56 w/ 36" Swampers. they're great in the woods, but a little high for highway driving.

Would 4.10/4.11 be good gearing for 33'' tires that see half highway half city(very hilly) and sum mud?

When i get around to it after the lift is done and the tires are on, I"m going to be regearing to 4:10s with the 35's I'll have because of the highway driving I do daily.

my plans for my truck are fitting 35's under it and i was wondering what gears are best for that and best for 9 1/4 rear

wasnt sure if this was the right place for this.....oh well...

With 35's and alot of highway miles I'd do 4.10's, if your going to `wheel it go for the 4.56's(that's as low as the 9 1/4 can go).

I have 33's with 3.90's. I do run on the freeway alot at 65+ and these gears do good for that. But, if I was going to be driving around town a lot, or I lived in a hilly area ( Phoenix is preaty much flat ), I'd go with 4.10's.

yes, it is the same, and yes no overdrive. Highway not that much, and wheeling not that much but when i get the tires and whatever else i'll be wheelin' like no other....

well, seems like the word is 4.10's with 35's...thanks alot guys that really helped out....

now, did anyone get their gears over the internet, if so where...and how much would this cost...and is it hard to do (keep in mind that I want something decent, nothing too expensive and nothing shitty) ! ! !

if you're looking for gears try randy's ring and pinion, they are really good folks and a lot of people swear by the quality their gears (yukon brand)

Yea that combo shuld work well I have 4.10's with 37's but I have a 4 speed to help on the low side,as for gears check out randy's the yukon gears are great quality and afordable

SO 4.10s with 33" will work well for Town/ highway, what kind of rpms will I be turning at 65-75mph?

2720 at 65. here's a link for the info

More like 3000 with 33's, 75 will be like 3600 3700 if i remeber correctly

randys ring and pinion website should have the conversion computer to show what rpm youll be turning.

randy's shows 2786 rpm w/auto trans at 65 mph w/4.10's and 33's.front and rear gearsets with master install kits ran me about 500 dollars

My $.02 worth is 410s with the 35s. However, be ready for a decent reduction in gas mileage though. You should try to limit your highway speed to 60-65. With 410 gears, higher speeds will really drive the engine RPMs up. Also, since you will be pulling open the pumpkins to put in new gearsets (and say you want the lower gearing for serious off-roading), this would be a good time to upgrade your differentials too. You may want to look at lockers or Limited Slip Differentials. I run Auburn Gear LSDs front and rear and am real happy with them. I would have gone with a locker in the rear (Detroit Locker) but apparently, there was not one made for my RC (76).

Dam them round tuits anyway,, dont wait for your round tuit before doing the gears,, or get the round tuit when you buy the lift and tires so there will be no delays when it comes to doing the gear swap or you will kill your tranny very quickly

i highly reccomend that you use factory gears in a ramcharger. if you dont the noise will drive you nuts. Randy's will also say the same.
