Default wanting gears...

well i wanna get some new gears and i think that i want 3.90. i think that the 3.73 aren't really enough and i think that the 4.10s are a little much if i have to take a long trip every once in awhile. and also what kind of gears should i get???

supposedly FRPP is the best, but im not sure if they make 3.90s. if you have your heart set on 3.90s i think youre going to have to get Motive, which is also a very good brand. they are both good and neither should whine if installed correctly.

Well I would personally suggest 4:10's, but the problem with 3:90's is that ford racing performance parts doesn't make that ring and pinion. The only brand that I've seen make them is motive, I haven't heard anything bad about motive, so I guess I would go with them.

u and i think alike, the 410's are gonna be to much for a DD but the 373 dont seem like there enough. i was looking at 390 mainly cuz its a good average. let me know how install goes with the motive 390's. thanks
