dont know, dont know, just curious...not clear on how the ratio plays in with anything...just see it as options when pricing new f150s...please educate me on this

why do you want new gears?

 

[nvycrmn]

so you dont want them on the expy, you want them on a new f150? usually the stock gears are perfect for the truck, unless you are planning on throwing some meaty tires underneath it. and lockers wouldnt be a good idea unless you plan on offroading it, and if you get lockers, you would want selectable lockers so your axles arent always locked. better street ride.

i talked with a guy who has supercharger and he mentioned he had detroit lockers...but the gears was just g-wiz...it will defenitely stay street...i have 2 dreams for F150 and a ranger...the F150 on 33's...maybe 31's...the ranger slammed...

so when i do the F150...do the gears...or should i select the ratio option when buying...

if you get a f150 and want to make it bigger find a used fx4. all ready have a locker and pretty much done for off roading and bigger tires. not saying you will but its all there. or just get a new Raptor. with the 6.2l of corse. then call Hennesey performance and get the twin turbo set up for 800 hp. then its a VelcoiRaptor. just a thought.

If you're going to put 35s or 37s I would reccomend 4.10s, with stock gears, even if they are 3.73 the engine and tranny will get tired... not to mention you're truck will accelrate slow as hell.

i am running 35's with stock gears now and so far no problems. sure, im not super fast off the line but hey, im not a porche either! i accelerate just fine. but if you go bigger than 35's, you are definitely going to want better gears or do like walnuts did and get a programmer.
