Yep, well you wrote it backwards but you get it. The teeth are bigger on the ring gear, and the pinion is bigger. We have gone thru a bunch of lower gears. Our experience is that the higher gears hold up a lot better, 4.11 is as low as I would go.

Thanx for the update Bustanutley.
If I was to useother R&P than 4.88 I would run 4.11 because they are so common (common=cheap)
