That compares favorably with what you liked with your '89 4R's 4.88's since it would have been turning 2474 at 60 miles per hour.

I would have gone deeper with the gears but it should be a nice balance for power and economy with the 5.29's. Congrats on your new setup.
Well another thing to take into account is the fact that my 89 4R was a fuel injected 22re while my 84 PU is a carbed 22r. Not sure of the actual numbers, but I'm sure that the 22re has just a tad more "huevos" than the 22r does.

But yeah, I'm excited. Just have to install the 3rds, get the powersteering pump to finish up the steering, and finish up the rear portion of the lift when my rear springs get to my front door tomorrow. Bout 85% done. Maybe have it rolling tomorrow or wednesday.
