Gear Ratios

[mudmonster]

My Bronco has 3.50:1 gears in it. Anyone have a suggestion or suggestions as to a ratio I could drop it to. The rig has 38x10.5x15 Super Swamper TSL's, if that helps.

Sorry I am not responding to the gear question, just wondering what lift you have on your bronc?

You are running 38" tires on 3.50 gears? Wow, I bet you got absolutely no power left in the squirrel cage. I would say that you need to drop to somewhere in the neighborhood of 4.88s or lower to get back into the stock power band range. At minimum you should be running 4.56 with that size tire. Just remember the higher the number the lower the gearing is.

You thought the same thing everyone else thinks. It holds it's own in the mudholes better than you think it would.

I run 4:10's with 35's and find it a great all around combo as my truck is my d/d and wheelin toy. Depending on your use, I would think 4:56's or 4:88's would be a good choice

I think I might get a 4.88's set.
