newbie here...2002 sport trac

[longracing25]

2002 sport trac, yes 2wd. So far its a TT front and extended shackles on rear. Rancho 9000 adjustable on back and 5000 series on front that are for lifted trucks. It has 31" tires. Getting ready to do SOA conversion and 4" spindle/twist on front. Probably the 3"body kit after as well. Im switching to at least 315/75-16 (35"). Going to do axle flip and see if i like that...or more first. No, its no offroad, mainly street, non daily driver, car shows. So no crap about its a 2wd...wha wha.

What’s your plan for gearing?

 

[longracing25]

im not changing it. Its not offroad or even highway driving. Its just a "sometimes" local driver, maybe a car show or two. Engine is bone stock, its amazing with 245k miles, no smoking..no leaking. Tranny was rebuilt recently though. I replaced rear axle, original whined. Last owner neglected the damn leak back there.

4:10 sounds about right

Easy burnouts

On 35s and a 5r55e I’d want 4.56s. Hopefully your transmission builder was excellent.

yes , he is.Like i pointed out, its not offroad, not pulling trailer,...and not carrying a load.

That’s irrelevant. Regular street driving will be a load. The 5r55e is lame, and heavy 35s will make it struggle.
