I was told if I re-gear to 5.29 and run 37's than my top speed in the truck will be only about 40 mph. Is this true? If it is there is no way im going to gear it that ratio becuase i am often on the highway and need to be going anywhere from 65 to 70 mph.

That is a load of :bull crap:  I have 37"s and 5.29s and I drive the freeway at 70-75.  going that speed, my tach reads about 3100

check this site. Zuk has some good info on gear set-ups, and from what I can tell, disproves the theory that 5.29's are weaker than 4.88's (even though that's what I run) www.gearinstalls.com

cool site.  interesting about the 5.29s being stronger than the 4.10s.  I also noticed he said it was the ring gear that usually breaks.  Not mine, it was the pinion that broke off.

It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
