need low gearing for the offroad aspect. After the diesel swap 4.56's would be a great ratio for street, but this thing will be an offroad truck aswell. So its getting low gearing, its actually higher than what it was im going from 5.38:1 to 5.13:1

BUILD ON HOLD:

Yeah, thant makes sense when you still have the gas motor, but with that 4BT you wont need more then 4.10 gears. The Cummins makes all its torque around 1500rpm, so its all you will need. JMO.
