Gearing ?
I'm new to the 73-87 truck, more specifically 4X4 world. I recently bought my wife her dream truck. It's an 85 Silverado with a 5.7 TPI motor. I want to tune it better but would like to figure out the best gears for it before I do so. It has a 4" suspension lift and currently runs 33's. I'd lke to go to 35's. Anyone think this is a good or bad idea? I also want to swap the light wieght running gear to a 1 ton front/rear. What gears should I be looking for when I go to a salvage yard to find my donor front/rear? 4.10's or 4.56?
