    Default Had My 3.42's For Awhile Now

    After all is said and done I admit I would have saved $$$$.+ dollars not changing out gears on my 4x4 burb to 3.42's from 4.10's.

    Been through 2 sets of GoodYear MTR's stock and 285's great of road but a waste on road. Now using 285 GoodYears SilentArmor like the quiet sure footed ride on road and they work good in sand.

    MPG is not consistant unless I drive at slower speeds, but I'm now geared for 70+ mph and the drag is a drag.........................

    I'm actually thinking seriously about going back to 4.10's maybe 4.58's w/taller tires................
