in gq ute TD42 turbo safari intercooled kit, had 4.88 with marks 85% gears 37 MTR's.

For strength I would look at 4.3 n reduction gears, or 4.6 n reduction gears but only 43% gears

I now have 4.6 gears with 43% reduction havent driven it yet.

tb 42 petty auto 37 mtr's no reduction gears 4.3 diff gears. does everything fine but would like some reduction gears.. drives great on road with 4.3s can tend to run away in low range but just drive accordingly
