Gear Ratio Combinations

Nice, so if I install the 5.38s & AR5... 52.8 crawl

5.38s & AR5 & Revo... 63.8 crawl

I would say that's great as long as everything can hold up to the extra torque.

Yep, I'll be increasing the torque to my wheels by about 81% when I'm done. I think the rear will be fine but the CVs are going to an even more exposed as the weak link. I will most definitely need to learn to moderate my left foot when wheeling. I think I may be getting into the mod it until the next thing breaks mode. Oh well, I'm having to do the same thing with ice hockey. My body just can't take the impact play anymore so I'm changing my style of play to a kinder gentler and hopefully conflict free model. I too would like to break less stuff.

If you do the same mods at least you'll have a solid front axle to rely on. If my calculations are correct you'll see a 73% increase from stock with the AR5/5.38 combo and 114% adding the rev gears to that. I wouldn't suggest taking up hockey though at this point in your life.

Are my calcs correct? 1st gear * TC * diff = final gear ratio, and (final gear ratio - stock gear ratio)/ stock gear ratio = percentage of change

Yep, the calcs are good. It's true about the CVs + extra torque, just use the ARB sparingly!

Good tip on the Hockey... anyways I prefer sports that reserve one hand for a frosty beverage.
