5.29s and 35s puts you just a tad higher RPM than stock. It will be fine. I cruise at 80mph all day with 5.29s and 35s. I run around 3200rpms at that speed which is fine for either a 22RE or 3.0L.

5-degrees incline? or 5% grade? Big difference.

Good thing your opinion is only that... just an opinion.

I wish you luck with your SAS, but I think you are getting in way over your head just because of the questions you continue to ask.

Good luck.

hahahaha did you really just tell someone that you think they are gettin in way over their head with a sas? its sooo straight forward. dissassemble, cutoff old crap that you dont need, then measure for your spring perches...... i really don't see how you can think anyone is over their head with this.

Instead of doing a 83 axle i had that was completely rusted and tore up, I used a dana 44 from a 77 chevy half ton. Now i dont have to wory about getting longfields or anything. The pics are from a cell phone. ill try to get some better ones if you want.

Jesus Johnson...Please tell me what roads that thing will be driven on as I will make sure my family never travels within a 100 mile radius of that deathtrap.
That thing is just plain scary.

I feel bad for YOTABP.

So my opinion that you're a joke doesn't matter either. And to the OP I told you, with 4.56 gears, V6 and 35x12.5s around 14 mpg, speed is okay once you get there acceleration is bad but tolerable.
