So I have been in my money pit since last spring, so far I have had the front end (IFS) rebuilt, only one cv axle replaced, replaced the slave cylinder, fuel pump, fuel filter, rear axle seals, new premium Warn Hubs. Now since I got my 4x4 engaging found the runner has mismatch gears 4:10 rear 4:30 front, opted to have the rear match the front I got a some 4.30 gears out of a Toyota in central Washington that are Posi rear. So I currently have 33" 12.5 R 15' bighorns and the 3.0 slow in it with a 5 speed, but my next investment will be having cliff at Toy Only Swaps do a 3.4 swap and super charge. My question is what kind of performance can I expect with the 4.30 gears and my tires with my current engine and then my upgraded engine. plan on staying 33's thanks in advance for any helpful information!

 

How do you know the rear is a posi?
It will still be sort of a pig with 4.30's with the 3.0 imo. A lot of 2nd Gens came stock with 4.88's

My mechanic here in town is the guy who ordered my 4.3 gears when I was down in the shop they were showing me everything while my Runner was up on the lift jacked up and told me it is a Posi

 

My 92 with the 3.4 loaded with more and more stuff( welding cable steel drops I was given etc) since I had it .

Has enough power I need to remember to keep my foot out of it

Pretty much just shift to 5th and drive .

Let a friend drive it that liked his 3.0 not long after he was doing a 3.4 swap

 

well from the sounds of it, it should have no problem doing all the things I would expect from it. Thanks for the info
