this fall/winter im converting over to a drw with 4:10's i got an axle and new bed, spacers and wheels. new helix 2 cam, ported oringed head, roll pan exhaust brake, air bags and hopefully lower it a tad too. also a new paint job. maybe if i can find a cheap s475 or ht3b ill make my self a set of twins. anybody have any advise or concerns for me:Cheer:
 
Think you will be able to keep your good mileage with all those mods?
 
probably not, but im going to be transfering closer to home real close like probably riding my bike everyday and i rather have the comfort of those extra wheels and running a little bit cooler i hope. i know my mileage now, towing is horrible
 
You're gonna hate the 4.10s. If you absolutely have to change gears, get 3.73s.

I just swapped my 4.10's for 3.55's.. I couldn't stand the 4.10's.. Also, don't go to electric fans. That was a waste of over $600 for me.. No performance, mileage, or cooling gain. Actually, the stock fan worked better than the large dual fans I had.. I just don't want to see others waste their money..
 
Adding an electric fan to assist AC performance is a good idea, replacing the stock fans with electrics isn't. I believe the stocker rates to 8800 CFM.
 
Did you just pull some leafs out in the back, or did you move the hangers?
 
You going to be using the airbags to handle the loads? Just curious because I may be thinking a little harder about selling that gooseneck you inquired about.
