Just got new diff gears installed and drove it for the first time...wow...what a difference. Not only better RPM with power but quiet rear end and perfect gearing for what I do...Now can maintain Fwy speeds w/o high revs and feel comfortable about not stressing the motor and tranny. Yes, went from 4.11 to 3.55.

Replaced rear leaf springs at the same time but needed to remove at 4 of the 8 leaves ! to achieve proper rear stance and comfy ride...With only two removed it sat way too high in the back... Should be a great pleasure to drive daily now.. Also went to rear tube shocks which help...
