Scott S. Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I found it was easier to do it with the differential out of the car. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant MacPherson Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Not to question your choice, changed my 2.56 to 3.42, was determined I wanted 3.73 but the shop that did it told me every past customer he had put 3.73s in were not happy. I am glad I went with his recommendation, huge difference on take off and still able to cruise at 70 mph. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even better if you switch to an overdrive transmission..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
420ponies Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 If going this route, I suggest you get new bearings , seals also. Are you going to give it a try or find someone to set it up for you? I have a Yukon Posi-traction unit in mine. I also upgraded to Moser Street axles. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
