I'm on stock axles (D30 front/D44 rear), 3.73 gearing, 3.8 "powerplant," 6-speed manual, and just moved up to 315/70R17 BFG KO2s. I'm wondering if I would benefit from going to 4.56 or 4.88, and if so, which one, why, and what would I immediately notice about a new gear ratio?
I enjoy driving fast, but that is what my (future) motorcycle will be for, so having a sluggish 4x4 is a non-issue for me, really. The little ricer with his unnecessarily loud exhaust may beat me off the line at the stoplight, but I will literally leave him in the dust on a completely different kind of line, and that's what matters to me.
So speed or acceleration gains aren't important; rather, will a re-gear help when navigating obstacles on the trail?
