yeah, i agree with the gears.
although I think a 5.4 can only get a 3:73 or 4:10 ratio


I bought used or I would have gotten the 4:10 axles.
even if I had a 2wd I'd consider the 4:30 swap.

From all the research I've done, the triton motors do not use very much extra fuel with a higher gear set.

having said all that. I have never really had a need for more power. I even swapped in a set of 20" takeoff tires from a new f350 which measure 34.5" tall.

I came from a '89 n/a diesel though. packing 170 angry clydesdales.
so I know what it's like to have a shortage of power.

my 5.4 feels like a ferrari
