gearing

does anyone know the gearing on a 96 XE? what would be the best for 31x10.50 tires?

On the XE's and LE's, the gearing is 4.363:1. The SE's had 4.636's in the axles because of the larger tires that came stock. The latter would be good for 31's, but it wouldn't be worth the hassle of regearing for such a small tire change. Now if you eventually got a big L&P lift and threw 33's on there, you'd want to regear, but with just 31's you should be OK with the 4.363's

interesting...where do you get this LP lift? is there a site or anything like that?

Well its not technically "out" yet, they're still finalizing the product, and have had to deal with some personal issues along the way. Should be out relatively soon, though. Here's the page L&P Performance
