got my body lift installed and I am happy with it so far... It was a 2 day process since I had to patch weld my floor on the pass side it was completely rusted through... now that I haev the room I want to raise my gas tank and tranny to clear the bottom up more and then hopefully get my G52/54 5 speed swapped in and start on some dual cases and rear locker

well I thing after a coulpe days of driving Im gonna cut the body lift down to a 1" and add a front drop hanger to level with the rear and correct my pinion angle and I am saving for new gears and a rear locker prolly spool unless I can get enough for the V6 aussie

Looking good. You keep saying aussie locker, but i didn't know they made one for the V6 third. It has been in developement for years.

Have they finally finished it and started selling them?

aussie finally released the V6 so now I am really leaning toward it if I can save the money

4x4YOTA · 11-09-2009, 01:02 PM

ok so I came across a local deal to get 2 factory V6 4.88 3rds for $150 each should I do it or save for 5.29... I dd my truck on my 32s but wheel with my 37s... after my 37s wear out I will prolly stick with a 33" or 35" tire and figured 4.88 would be a good nutueral gear since I plan to run dual cases that will be for trail so the gear choice is more a matter of choice for street...

so with that said 4.88 or 5.29s

Lumpy · 11-09-2009, 02:46 PM

I think the 4.88's will do fine as long as you don't go above 35's. But that's just my opinion, I'm running 33's with the 4.88's and an auto...for now.

4x4YOTA · 11-09-2009, 05:48 PM

how strong are the factory V6 4.88 3rds compared to a regeared V6 3rd and could I still put a spool in a factory 4.88

4x4YOTA · 11-11-2009, 04:36 PM

ok so how hard would it be to install a spool by myself?

also how are the driving characteristics of a spool on the highway 65-75mph is it any different then around town 25-45mph
