Subject: Lifting My V6 New Gears?????????
IP: Logged

Message:
I have a 2002 V6 SXT Dak and I am getting a 3" suspension and a 3" body and putting some 33's on that puupy. I don't do hardly any towing and I don't play in the mud, it's pretty much just for looks. What about gears??? Some people say i need them some say i don't. What do I need to do? And where can I do it? Appreciate any help.

do you have an auto or manual? and whats your stock gear ratio? if you have 3.92s you should be fine going to 33" tires. 3.55s or lower you'd better step up to 3.92 or 4.10

If you are a 2wd v6 like me i put 4.10's in the rear with 33's. You will be very happy with that gear. here are some photos

If it is an auto get the 4.56; 5-speed 3.92.

4.56? Wouldn't that murder the gas mileage?

Yamaha,
What all does your truck have as far as lifting goes? That looks badass for a 2wd!

thanks for the compliment it's 3inch susp and 3 inch body.As for the 4.56 gears i think the most you can get is 4.10's b/c of the size of our rear axle carriers.
