In Reply to: can you change rear axle to go hwy speeds posted by ken sloan on Tuesday, January 27, 2009 at 19:45:52 :
You probably have a 5.83 ratio third members (differentials) Your option is to go with 4.89 third members. But you MUST do both front and rear. If you can not do your own differential setup, changing gear ratios can be a costly event. Your other option is to use 1100 x 16 tires which will give you a higher road speed. However, 'in my opinion', I will not use 1100 x 16 tires as they increase the rotational mass, unsprung weight, are costly and could be hard to find a replacement of you tore on up. But thats only, 'my' , opinion. Others love 1100 x 16 tires and swear by them, with reported great results.
