Well concerning my EX here are a few things I would change since I've lifted it, etc...
I would have gotten either maybe 33's, or gone with an 8" rim instead of 10" because of the cutting that needs to be done, probably some cutting with 35's on 8's too, but less for sure.
Would of put a Detroit Locker in, instead of the Eaton LS, the tires/stereo are so loud I woudln't hear the Detroit anyway. (friends told me it was too noisy, it's not)
Put 4.56 Gears in, would of gone with 4.88 minumum.
(was on the 202 tonight, was going about 85-95 not sure cause I haven't really tested it since new gears put in, but it was around that, and was cruising at or less than 3k rpms, seemed a bit low. And MPG is still pretty bad, better than the 9 I was getting with the 3.73's in, but definately not worth buying/putting in new gears. Maybe I'm getting 12 mpg now, not sure, haven't ran a full tank, but it looks about that.
Would of bought the gears from the place I had do the install, cause of the little things, and they know their product then someone elses. (took week and a half to get gears put in, and an extra hundered bucks, cause of the "little things")
I'm sure there are some more things, that I'll think of later, but this is what was on my mind, and I'm quite bothered by it.
