| Post subject: | 4.16:1 Tcase Reduction |
from what I've been told, 4.16:1's are probably best for 31" tired on a sierra, as 6.5:1 are to much and more suited to 32" and bigger. Does anyone know a reputable brand and model number for a set of 4.16:1 crawler gears? Eg. this is the model and manufacturer of 6.5:1 trail gear gears. # Model: 105004-3-KIT # Manufactured by: Trail Gear Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. |

Mate i went through the same problem when i was looking at getting gears for running 31's. I ended up going with the 6.5's on the advise of people from here, and I'm glad i did. They are pretty much perfect for onroad driving, make the car sit at about 3500 to 3600rpm at 100, and are Awesome offroad The only thing i can fault with them is that i can be a bit annoying having to stop and change back into high range when you need to go faster between two sections. Max speed in lowrange is about 35-30ks without redlining |

And definatly go trailgear, and get them from Low Range Offroad. Even with shipping, it worked out about $200 cheaper to get them from there |

I wouldn't go 4.16s with 30s... If you want the best on-road gearing to bring things back into line with stock then I'd suggest 4.9 gears with 31s... |

Go the 6.5s - they are cheaper than the other sets, and way more awesome. They are so cool they will allow you to impregnate women from over 300m! |

Ahhh ok, well at the advice of other i was steering away from 6.5's... but if its brings it back close to standard (i'm stock now and i do 100 @ 3500rpm) then thats perfect. |

i feel that mine isn't low enough with 6.5s and 31's, i would like to go 4.1 diff gears as well. but then my 31's are a heavy tyre. |

Neg, not on the road. Mine's exactly 3600rpm at 100k's (GPS) with true 31's, which is perfect because you'll need a bit of extra torque to orvercome the additional resistance of bigger mud tires. |

Yeah instead of getting brand new gears with a great warranty, chuck in a 30 year old transfer case...

The 1 lt box is good if your looking for a cheap fix to get a VERY VERY little extra. The 1 lt box is good for standard tires and mabey up to 29s. What I am saying is if you have one sitting around and it wont cost you anything then yes put it in till you get your 6.5s. |

Tell him to eat your ass with a spoon. The 6.5s made my car really driveable, it was a slug before, now it is almost like a normal car. |
