You will need a shop press to press the bearings. other then that it is just basic tools.
ok so the set for the gears themselves is about 150 bucks. Ive seen in the catalogue "Performance Products" that I can buy the set of 5.29 from Precision Gearing. Does this re-gearing kit come with everything I need to get the job done? I would like to get my hub situation taken care of first but I just wanted to research this subject first. This will probably be the next thing I need to do to my axle before I start buying the parts for the SAS. So far i need new wheel bearings for the axle, new locking hubs,re-gearing,brake rotors,and a black paint job on it. Ive already purchased the knuckle rebuild kit from Marlin.
o yeh. I cant wait until is built and painted! I just want to start on the SAS so bad! Im going to check out Randy's ring and pinion for prices. What gears would you guys run for 37 or 38 in. tires?
If you're gonna do heavy wheeling, I would stick with 4.88s you're gonna have higher RPMs on the road, but the strength oif the 5.29s is questionable.
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.
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.comErik
...one of the reasons for regearing is to get the ratios to stock, so your engine doesnt feel like it is woking harder to turn more weight (bigger tires) basically 31" tires with 4.10 is about equal to 37"s with 5.29s, as far as your truck is concenred. you wont improve gas milage over stock, but you will improve it over say 37"s with 4.10s or 4.56s, or 4.88s.
I guess I could have phrased that better. I was tryin to say that your gas milage will be better with 5.29 and 37s than say 410s and 37s cause the gearing is closer to stock ratios.
