nice they are a bit cheaper!

I have to tow a 12' trailer starting soon (for the ATV's (plural)) and it's not going to be fun w/ my 3.slow. It's going to be rough w/ 35's (BTW I may get mud grapplers...) and 4.88's, I'm thikning about going 4.56 b/c I can't use OD at all, so it's going to push me to like 3500rpms at 65 with 4.88's.

i started reading reviews on the grapplers, and the reviews are great, almost everyone loves them, even with the price they said they would rebuy. There was one guy complaining about wear. that is it so far.
yeah man if you are going to pull stuff alot a taller gear would be good. my trans is shot. i think that is more of my power problem than the gears.

BTW, I'll probably be on some sort of 35 (MTZ or if I decide to go w/ the grapplers) and the atv's are 300lbs+700lbs, plus the 6x12 trailer (maybe 1000lbs) and gear/water/gas (another 300 or so)
All in all about 2300-2500lbs. I'm thinking 4.88, but with OD off, my RPMS will be 3500 at 65-70

ah it will be higher than that. at 65 with OD off for me I am turning 3200 and that is with 4.56s
I know when i was driving to the dunes at 75 I was turning 3600 with the OD off. mpg was ok 13 ish.

I know for a fact at 65 I am at 3k w/ OD off on 33's and 4.10's. I wonder if there is a calc. to figure out what it would be w/ 4.88 and 35's. I really want 4.88 b/c I will probably end up on a SFA in a little while, just one less thing for me to worry about (running bigger tires...38's or so). But for now (through school) I have to tow the ATV's and drive 30 miles to school.
