I looked on the forum and found my D4 axle code to be: Limited Slip 3200 3:73. What's the 3200 stand for? My Ex. is up on 33's and I would like to gear it. I won't be rock crawling with it, mostly prerunning and towing 3 dirt bikes with it in mtn. areas. I was thinking 4:10s cause I thought my stock gearing would be higher but now I'm not sure if 4:10s will be much different. What do you guy's think, would it be better to go all the way to 4:56s? I know a lot of you are running 4:56s but are you doing this for crawling or just cause that's the best overall gearing for the Ex. with 33's. I don't want to go too low seeing as how I won't be on the rocks.
Thanks for any info!!

Alright, I just found a formula to convert the stock tire/gear ratio to a new equal ratio with 33's and it came out to 4:27 so I guess it would probably be best with 4:56 to aid in towing. Do you guys agree with this?
Thanks
