    Depending on model, usually 3.55 and taller (lower number) have the 15” R&P instead of the 18”, so 3.70 may (or may not) be as low as you can go

    what size rubber are you on? What rears? and how heavy do you pull? 46k full locks is going to get pricey pretty quick

    I'd just run it until a rear goes out and change the ratio then.

    Agreed - unless you have an overflowing maintenance fund - which is half the reason I changed.

    The other half of the decision was not having any record of replacement in 1.1 million miles.

    Cheaper to do it at the home 20 than under a load.
     
    Ruthless, W923, Last Call and 3 others Thank this.
