damn i wish ihad the d4 its the LS diff

 

[thomas.baker]

So baisically I have the good one for offroading and for bigger tires

 

[Tremblor]

Yes, I have 3:73 gears and LS. very helpful versus open diffs. and an ok gearing for climbing. 4:10's would be great.

My '91 axle/diffential factory gear ratio is 3:55 which is good if you want to do away with the overdrive transmission and run 31" to 33" tires.

Next time you change the gear oil, check the limited slip plates. They are like little clutch plates and wear out. Mine were gone after about 50,000 miles. I understand they are rebuildable.
