I am happy with my 4.67.
Now Ponder this.. How could a Suzuki Samurai(65 hp, OBD 1)first gear ratio of 3.5 something, transfer case 4 to1 low and axle ratio 4:30 with lockers on 33s. Pull a 30 foot RV with a sand rail on a flat bed trailer stuck in sand. 300 feet across the Pismo dunes , and then 300 feet in to the dunes where a small block ford f150 could not.
Gearing baby!!!!

Yeah Skye gearing is a huge thing for performance, i am a trucker and car/truck fanatic anyway, and how do u think our rigs are able to pull 80,000 lbs or more and even up steep hills? Gearing that is, first gear in a rig will have u redlining at about 3 mph depending on your setup. Of course our big diesel motors make stump pulling torque as well, but its the very low gearing is what makes them powerful.
