  1. WHERE CAN I GET THIS!!!!!!!!!!!???????????????????????????????????
  2. Welcome to the forum, crampton16. I'm not sure if you read this whole thread, but basically you cannot get lower gearing than 4.636:1 because of the R200A reverse-cut ring/pinion front diff for which no other gear ratios exist. The only way to get lower gearing is to ditch the IFS and swap in a solid front axle. I assume you have an automatic transmission, which has 4 forward gears. The 4th gear is Overdrive. Your truck wants to downshift out of overdrive down to 3rd gear at 70mph for at least 2 reasons: 1. The faster you go, the more drag your truck experiences, and the 3.3L engine doesn't have enough power to keep up that speed. Drag increases with the square of the speed, so if you have a large drag coefficient (roof rack, light bar, spare tire on roof, etc.), you can expect to have problems pushing all that air out of the way at high speeds. 2. With 33" tires, you're actually going faster than 70mph, but the transmission doesn't know that because it's getting false readings from the VSS. Consider installing a speedometer calibrator. I installed a 12 o'clock labs universal SpeedoDRD to correct my 5% speedometer error, and surprisingly I'm getting better performance and fuel economy now because the transmission shifts slightly differently. That's a lot of great info and all the things you mentioned I have on my roof lol PLUS I have 2 kayaks up there. I love the truck but wow everything is so hard to get set up.
  3. oh man bummer. Ive had them on for a few months but never went on a long freeway drive. Around town I have no problem but 70 mph not going to happen in 5th gear.
  4. 1st Post on here. Ive read a ton of good info about my r50 on here. I have a 2 1/2 inch lift springs on front and rear with 33s and this weekend I took it up HWY 5 where the speed limit is 70. When I get to about 65 mph my truck wants to down shift and no matter what I did I could only go 70 in 4th gear at 4000 RPMS. I have 4.63 gears so any easy swap up is not possible. I see 5.13 gears out there for the rear but nothing for the front? Anyone have any idea how to can regear to 5.13 or maybe I'm all wrong with this and need to go another route?
