Default 3.73's, holy c**p!!!!

Well I took her out for the maiden voyage after I installed 3.73's in place of the 2.73's. Lakewoods, Ford racing uppers, pinion snubber, battle boxes, also. WOW! What a difference, even with the lift bars it'll break loose just goosin it off the line with newer BFG TA's.

Sounds awesome, I would like to do that this summer, mind if I ask how much I should expect to pay to have them installed? Or did you do it yourself?

Yeah I just bought my stang 2 months ago and it hasn't been on the road due to a smashed in qurter panel. When I took it out for a quick spin up and down the road though, it freaking booked! I had no traction in first, and little more in second. Oh and I forgot the point of the story, lol, the guy I got it form paid 400 for the parts and install he said.
