Have you thought of dual transfers? One of the blokes I go wheeling with has a rig with dual transfers and a 3.8v6 auto he seems to only use it on downhill as well
If you coverted a petrol you may already have 4.8 diffs
Silly question but you have discs all round?

nah just disc drum, it was originally a 2.8 but i am pretty sure the bloek before me mucked around with diff ratios, but i cannot remember what he said he did :?

number of teeth on your crown wheel divided by the number of teeth on your pinion = your diff ratio

39/8=4.875

Some pinions have different numbers of teeth
