Best Differential Ratio for Mudding?

Hi everyone!
I'm from Puerto Rico. I have a 1983 Toyota pickup. I bougth it 3 years ago and I been mudding around here since then. My question is what you guys think ins the best ratio my diffs should have for mudding? I have an almost stock engine (as far as I know) whit 33 x 12.5 15's. I believe the truck came whit 4.10's from the factory but since I'm ruining big tires I believe I should go with a higher ratio. There is a lot of mud in here not much rocks.

Here are some pictures of how I bought it and how it looks now. I made a flat bed and a winch bumper for it.

4.88s's..

if you want more traction..get aussies front and rear..nuff said..


or if ya wanna be cheap...weld her up!!!..but welding up front isn't recommended..so drop an aussie up front and weld the rear!

looks like you have a blast with that pickup..reminds me of when i was 16&17 with my '80..lol

Your first post says you have 33's, and that's why camo said 4.88's. If you do have 35's that's probably why you read that you should go with 5.29's.

My bad. It was a typo error on my first poost. I have 35 x 12.5 15's.
