torque loss from 5.29's ?? not following u will get more torque from 5.29's then u will from 4.88's......4 banger with 38's and still get 65-70 not problemo could go more but suspension is way to soft to be comfortable at those speeds, keep the 5.29s i believe u will be happy with them....p iii

Sorry that was the wrong choice of words. I didn't mean torque loss I meant speed. I've had a few off road buddies tell me that 4.88s are better to get if my truck is gonna be my daily driver. Whether that is true or not I'm not too sure. I jist know he runs 4.88 with his 33's and his dad runs 4.88's with 35's too. Just took their opinion since they've been off roading for about 15+ years. But if they are wrong do tell me why 5.29's would be better for my truck cuz it will save me from buying one extra set of gears. He kit told me 5.29's are more for running bigger tires such as 35's and up. When I do my SAS ill be running 33's then eventually upgrade to 35's. So what do u suggest?
I'm running a 1989 4runner with a 3.0 V6(getting rebuilt atm) and gonna do the SAS as soon as i get it back from the mechanic.

Redeth....

I mean, if you're going to go with 35's, FOR SURE, then, well, I'd just grab another 5.29 for the rear and roll with it that way for the time being.... IF you just don't like the lil higher RPM's at 75 or whatever you wanna roll... then keep the 5.29's for the eventual 35's, ...and find a set of 4.88's for the 33's. You can EASILY sell them the second you don't want em. Yes, it's a bit more work, but swapping out gears is not A HUGE deal, ya know? Especially on a SAS'd one.

I only went up to 4.30's for the 31's I have(Great guy on here hooked me up with the 4.30's with a locker in the rear) .... 4.56's would be speedo exact, etc., w/a lil higher RPM, but I REALLY think the 4.30's are fine for me, as I'm able to do 90-95mph in my 22re-on-31's with 4.30's/ and climb the cahon pass at 65-70, even in 5th gear in some parts and with the A/C on! lol........ I would imagine with 4.56's I could get close to that top speed, but it'd be WHINING,....a LIL more? lol... With 4.30's I'm already at 3K RPM at 70(I think... I'll look it up on my thread eventually for ya, lol)...

I get the feeling by speed you're meaning 80mph at a steady clip without REALLY high rpm. BUT, as you go to 33's with 4.88's, the RPM will be around the same as 4.10's with stock 28's. 5.29's with 33's would bring the RPM a bit higher and the speedo would be a lil off.... BUT, not that dramatically.... And, well, you could always climb a barn with it if you wanted to! lol.

Thanks! Did 6 base coats and 2 clears. Then wet sanded and polished the entire truck and started putting it back together. Still have my SAS to accomplish and need to have my wheels that I bought put on.
