Default Gears

With the stock gears..only one side of the rear wheels drives the car right? What would I need to do to lay down two strips of tread? Lockers??? and if both wheels are making the car go will I have better acceleration? (I don't really know much about gears yet) Please let me know. Thanks

Yes, only your back right tire supplies the power, the back left tire offers traction, you will need a t-lok to allow both wheels to spin at once and supply your power evenly. Gears will allow you to have better accelleration, go with 4.10s they will offer the best accelleration gains for a six. All in all this will cost roughly $700 because you will have to get these professionally installed.

actually, they both spin until 1 looses traction, then 100% of the torque is transfered to that one wheel, so pm autobadges and get some 4.10s and a t-lok
