Hey everyone,

I am just looking for some opinions and help. I have been looking into re-gearing my ranger but don't know too much about it. I have 4.0 OHV, and stock 4.10s and am currently running 33 BFG MT KM2s (pretty nice tires if anyone was thinking about getting some) with a good chance of going to 35s once these wear out. After some searching on here most guys seem to run 4.56 or 4.88. I was just wondering what would be the best option for me,my truck is my daily driver with some off-roading with my buddies on the weekends.

Also I have never replaced gears before but I am pretty mechanically inclined so I think I can do it. Any insight/know how would be great. Is there any specific brand that is better then the others? I am in college (which if anyone works for a company that is looking to hire a Mechanical Engineer I will be graduating in May) so I don't have a ton of money to spend on them.

Future plans for the truck include rock sliders, front end conversion, rear disc brake conversion etc. So if anyone has any opinions/ help with these feel free to post as well.

Thanks in advance for all the help. i LOVE this forum, I have already learned so much from it.

 

Stick with the 4.10s. They'll work fine for a DD.

I've got 33s and 3.73s. Works fine. Specially if you plan to work on the front as you say later down the road.

 

Yeah they work fine my truck just seems to have very little power

 

i meant low end power. its pretty gutless actually
