I think they came with 4:10 gears as well didn't they Bob ? :huh:
Oh you can go much lower than that but he wants to keep up with the soccer moms on the hwy. I put 4.88s in my old runner, it was great in the quarter mile.
Gear ratio terminology confuses everyone now and again...
Higher gear = lower numerical ratio. Think transmissions. Highest gear is usually one to one or overdriven.
Lower gear = higher numerical ratio. Using my transmission analogy, a 3.27 first gear is lower than a 2.97 first gear.
I like the tranny analogy as it is easy for anyone to understand - and no one with any gumption will ever argue with you that first gear is higher than fifth gear. When I'm looking at chunks or diffs at a swap meet I always try to make sure I say "low or high gear ratio" when asking what they have otherwise you end up arguing mathematics with someone that didn't finish the fourth grade... :basketcase:
