Running 32's on 4.56 diff ratios
Posted: Thu, 06 Oct 2011 8:18 +0000
Hi all,
Been reading bucket loads on fitting 33's and it sounds like there is a lot of cost and cutting to do from my current setup (current setup is 2inch lift SR5 rims)
I all ready have a front locker fitted to my stock hilux diff (which is 3.5 ratio) & currently running 31'.
I'm about to order 4.56 ratios from the US as I'm not happy with the current revs/power ( in 4th gear down the highway I'm getting 2600rpm at 105kph). I under stand with 4.56 ratio I will be doing a massive jump so I know that I will need to change my tyre size but it's my only choice due to standard hilux diff and already installed locker unless I want to waste my 4week old locker and fork out for a new one and a prado diff.
So does anyone else run 4.56 ratios with 32's how are your revs in 4th gear at 105kph and in 5th going 120kph?
CAN ANYONE THINK OF A REASON WHY AND WHY NOT TO RUN 32's WITH A RATIO OF 4.56?????
Should I really be considering putting 33's on instead to lower the revs?
I'm happy to spend money on new rims, tyres and the diff ratios from the US and would go a 50mm body lift but only if it makes the 33' fitting a breeze
Been thinking about this setup delema for 2 weeks now as some of you already know
