Spud wrote comment he wished he had a 1.60 low gear vs. his 1.69. Depending on what you have for your 9 inch gear ratio, you could use th350 to your advantage. I think the 2.52 to 1.52 is bit wide, but 1.52 to 1.1 looks good on paper…. I say try it. Figuring out your starting line ratio, your hp/torque, total weight and tire size also play role in your decisions, with limited selection of parts, your puzzle waaay more difficult. DF

I think it will work ok, the question is then if it holds. You are right about the gearing. It is wide open With the 9", I will buy a gear ratio that will work With the rest. How do you guys figure out tire size, is it guesswork or do you use some math to figure that one out.
