Dozens of times. I use what I sell. It's a pretty straightforward mod if you got tools and can brush your own teeth.

From what you described you don't need a 4.7 gear set

Under powered on the road or while offroading? 4.7's are just going to make your low range almost twice as low. You'll be creeping.

x2. the only time the lower low range will help is in low range lol. regear first. it will be much better for your situation. unless your doin alot of low and slow stuff like crawling, you dont need the 4.7's.

exactly..the 4.7 gear set is for LOW RANGE.

if you're still underpowered while in 4LO...then the 4.7's will help.

might i suggest getting a set of 5.29's? or even 4.88's.

x87236483276 for fixing your diffs first, bro.


4.7's will help you crawl, which you clearly stated you don't do.


5.29's sound like your ticket.

Pull a couple of factory 4.88 3rd members from the rear axles of a pickup/4runner with factory 31's and auto trans and put them in your axles.

a 5.29 with a 35 in tire brings the overall ratio the closest to stock, by fixing the differential gears you will regain all of the drivability that you have lost with a 35.
