RE: good gear ratio for a limited slip?
 

You should buy the stock wheels off my truck and and put 235 65 17 tires or may be a little taller like 255 65 17s:D

wow that would be nice i wish i could but i got 5 lug not 6 lug[&:]

RE: good gear ratio for a limited slip?
 

Yeah i did not remember if the 89 had 5 lug or 6 lug that sucks.

RE: good gear ratio for a limited slip?
 

yea back in the day when 2wd was 5 lug and 4wd was 6 lug

RE: good gear ratio for a limited slip?
 

I would say 3.42, 3.55, or 3.73 at the most. I think the 4.10 will give you too high rpm and drink gas. I would stay in the 3.42, 3.55 range. This will also cover you with larger tires. If yo are staying stock size then 3.23 or so.

RE: good gear ratio for a limited slip?
 

ive been thinkin a good ratio would be 3.73s but i didnt know if this would be to high or not. plus i know each one is going to have its advantages and disadvantages, just wanting to go through all of those to kinda narrow the choices down.
