If i regear to 5.88's with 31" or smaller tires will i see a drastic imporvement in acceleartion? how big is the loss in top speed?

 

see this thread:

near the end the discussion changes to regearing, torque, and top speed

 

I think you mean 4.88's. I hope.

 

fwiw, since we're driving slightly different rigs... i've got 4.56 and (as of this writing) 31s on my '95 pu, and can easily chirp the tires. i haven't timed a quarter-mile or 0-60, but it still gets up and walks the dog.

 

5.88s? thats insane..... with 31" tires you would not be able to over 50 mph without redlining the engine!

 

Yeah, 5.88's are insane since you can't get them for a Toyota axle.
