the big question is........will you be driving your stang year round ?
Not even, not with the weather like it is in the winter out there. I bought my moms 91 Ranger for the rainy/snowy days. It's already there....since...that's where she lives....

For those of you who dont know, I'll be moving across the country in April, right now I have the stock gears in my car, but my 4.10s came in this afternoon. My question is, how bad would it be driving across the country, about 3500miles with these? Should I wait till I get to my new home and find a shop to do them there? I wanted to get them done before I left because I havea really trustworthy shop I've been going to for about 10years here, and would much rather have them do the install for me. Is gas milage the only thing that would suffer on that long of a haul? Thanks!
I'd wait...

Any reason why? I'd really like to hear all pros and cons to it. Thanks
