4.88's vs. 5.29s
I want a lower axle gear to tote around my camping/work supplies, but judging by the cost of them it would be cheaper to go with a 5.29 ratio. My problem is I am only running a 31x10.5R15 Trxus and dont know what each would bring me. I found a really good deal on a marlin crawler 4.88 3rd w/ a detroit but It would cost less for me to go 5.29 with lockrights f/r after i regeard to 4.88 in the front. I feel pretty good with my dad setting them up, but the main question I am trying to ask is, Is a 5.29 to low for a stock vehicle? or would fifth finally be usable, and honestly I could live with fifth being about the same as forth.
4th= 1:1
5th= 0.85:1
So would a 15% increase in gear ratio be enough
4.11x1.15=4.73
So in theory of that a 4.88 would actually make 5th gear feel a little lower than 4th.
So what do you guys think?
