So I decided on going with the 4/3 MaxTrac with 33's. I might as well since it's not so high it's ridiculous and the spindle lift will give much more ground clearance. First step though: rebuilding the front suspension. It's kinda wore out, all the bushings are done for. Any good all in one kits that have upper/Lowe control arms with ball joints, tie rod ends things like that? Ive found a couple, but no name brands. Also, with 33's I need to regear. I used a gear ratio calculator and it says 4.49 so 4.56 what I want. Should I go 4.56 or 4.10? I don't want to wear out and over work the engine, but also don't want to be In 5th gear at 65 with 4000 rpms.
