I would like to install gearing that is more user friendly on the highway. So far the only info I have came up with pertains to 1/2 tons.
Thanks, Mike | | |

I'm going through this right now. If you run a search here in the bulletin board under "Differential Swap' or "rear end" or something similar, you will find multiple threads discussing exactly this topic. If you have any specific questions I'll fill you in on what I've found so far. | | |

The only thing is, trackwidth was wider, so my truck looks a little odd...maybe if you were doing a frontend swap tho... | | |
