great point on the 2WD for some reason I thought it was a 4x4. 3.90 sounds like the way to go.

Why not try an edge ez, Van Aaken, something to give the truck a little more power? Could be just what the doctor ordered.

Those 3.90 gears sound like the ideal combination that way I can keep the taller tires to get over the low spots easier, I like to spent a lot of time in the boondocks, although I'm limited by the two wheel drive.

Thanks again for the ideas

I forgot the most important question, where is the best place to get a set of those 3.90 gears?

After you get the ring and pinion installed the dealer can reprogram your trucks speedo through the data port under the dash.

Forgot You can check here first to see if you like the new ratio. Just change tire and gear ratio's accordingly.
