Ok I have a 81 truck its got the 22r and I switched to a 4 speed that i think came off a 80 20r. It has the lowest stock gears whatever they are I dont remember. The T-case goes with the 4 speed. What I need to know is am I goin to have any problems turnin 35X14.50 Boggers?  ? Oh yea the front and rear are welded. TEXT |

Yeah carlos is on the money. Your diff gearing needs to be able to push the tires or the torque from the engine won't be used. The right gearing makes your torque work for ya.  |

;D Yeah, major problems. The first thing that'll see abuse is the clutch. Keep one on hand. From there, the whole driveline will be abused if you offroad @ all. Not only b/c of tire size, but b/c Boggers are heavy!!! Consider your brake system a needed upgrade too. Later...

Ok so where do the 5.29 gears come from? Cuz i think mine are like 4.2? ?
And if I switch to them am i goin to have any problem with the weight?
Is there any little things I can do to the motor to give it a lil more power.
Top speed for this rig is about 10-15 mph I only cruise around trails and and do contests so i think the brakes will be ok.
I am building new leaf springs right now an i havent ordered the tires but i will get pictures on here as soon as i get that done.

You have 4.10 (or maybe 3.90) diffs.
The 5.29 gears come from a drivetrain shop. ;D
There's alot you can do to a 22R if you have the $$, headers, cams, carbs, intakes, EFI swap, etc.
Check out the LCE or DOA websites for performance 22R's.

Do I have to get those gears made or do they come out of a different vehicle?

Yeah if your confused or not sure about gears call Randy's Ring and Pinion. They are on the web. They can answer all your questions and shoot you some prices. Good guys to talk to. I know a guy running a 22r with some large boggers. Of course he has done major work on the 4cyl and it is a screamin little motor. It puts out some good power and he reports to have no problems pushing the boggers around.

;D 1st, not being a jerk. 2nd, I really wish you'd let us know what your rig was being used for. It'd have made everybody's life easier. ;D Later...

Yeah, it would help to know the use of the truck. I know guys around here that run 40's to 44's with stock gears behind a 20 or 22r, but they stay in 4-low and never see pavement.
