I had to go down in size.
The hybrid couldn't get those 17's going.

Re: Ordered a little something today....

Guessing about 2 weeks.
I have to rip the stock rear end out and send the backing plates to the builder.
Then probably a week out.
Thinking 9" with 3.90's.

sounds good to me... you probably have to much power to be effective with anything bigger like 4.27's

Re: Ordered a little something today....

Was considering 4.11's.
Until I started looking at were I would be topping out 4th gear with 26" tires.
I would be bouncing off the rev limiter in 4th gear at sea level crossing the traps. Roughly 124 MPH.

So I am thinking I need a little less gear.

Re: Ordered a little something today....

15 inch rims can clear your brakes and calipers? interesting.

No.

I have to grind down the calipers. Brakes fit though. Rears aren't the big ones.
