    Clue?

    Are we talking about new transmission innards or differential or what? Clue in the clueless! And what's the point? To have more low end power?

    They are differential gears. They will bring the drive train overall gearing back closer to stock when using 32-34" tires. When offroad lower gearing = better power / torque. They would also add low end acceleration to a stock VX, but would also put you at much higher RPM's for highway speeds.

    I'm very interested in getting these. Since I never intend on running anything smaller than 33's on my VX, it really makes sense to restore the gear ratio to regain that low end pep. Then when I get my super charger I'll really be screamin!

    I'd jump all over a set of 4.88's. That would bring you back just slightly lower than the stock ratio with 33" tires. I'm sooo there!
    Its the thrill of the chase
