I assume you are talking about ratios? Year, model, engine, transmission. Should be able to help you then. |

there is no "simple" upgrades 5.12's are as good as it gets in regards to diff gears without spending mega $$$$'s what are you wanting/trying to do? |

just like in my previous threads taht my front seems really loose and doesnt like sand etc and mainly needs the left wheel to spin in order the right one to spin |

so its singleing? thsts because its not an lsd/locker so basically only one will ever spin. or am I on the wrong track? |

are you 100% sure your free wheeling hubs are working properly & aren't seized/sticking? my vitara absolutely owns the sand with low tyre pressures.... as in it's almost unboggable. |

wen i got ther car they were seized, got them greased up so they would lock in 4x4 mode |

Sure you put the hubs back right? You have an open diff. Replacing it with another open diff won't make it any better. One wheel will spin. That's what happens. You'll only spin both wheels if they both have exactly equal traction. That almost never happens. Steve |
