5.29’s Regear for the fellas rollin on 37’s

I’ve heard from a guy here in Vegas that this April there will be 5.29 Gears for our trucks.. 100% back to stock power for anyone that’s been missing that get up and go.....

 

If you're serious, I volunteer to be the first to purchase

 

@1UPPER I think it’s Motto Gears. I asked him a few months back but I think that’s it

 

Motive Gears? 5:29s would definitely make me think. I'm thinking....

 

Sweet. I almost bought another set of 4.88 for a Lincoln locker I was about to make.

I’ll hold off for the 5.29’s then!!

 

Yup, just wait

 

Keith, what’s a Lincoln Locker?

 

Same thing as a Hobart locker. Or a miller locker

Weld spider gears and viola.

 

Poor man's way of getting a full carrier locker like a Detroit.

 

Yes it's Motive Gear that is gonna come out with the 5.29's and a LSD from them for our trucks too. That's what I'm waiting for Motive Gears LSD and their 4.88's.

 

If their lsd is a locker I may go with that.

My auburn was burnt up in a few weeks.

I can’t afford an Arb.

They don’t make a Detroit or a spool.

So if I have to, I’ll make a spool.

So not only poor mans way, but also desperate

 

I’ve heard that diamond axles may be making a spool. How rad would a set of 5.29’s and a spool be!!?!!??!!!!!!

 

Everyone should hit him up and ask when it will be ready

Lol but what’s a spool???

 

So if I m running 35s, should I go w with 4:88 or wait for 5:29 as well.

 

Do I or wud I need for 35s?

 

for sure bro

 

I think 35’s you get back stock power with 4.88 but not 100%sure.

 

2 rules of thumb:

1. Choose the gearset that brings the tire size back to stock, then go one step more aggressive to compensate for the weight of the new tires.

2. 4.56 brings 33’s back to stock. 4.88 brings 35’s back to stock. 5.29 brings 37’s back to stock.

Given the above set of rules you would run:

4.88 on 33’s
5.29 on 35’s
5.88 on 37’s

I’m running 4.88 on 33’s and it works fantastic!! But I wanna try 5.29

Only issues with goin too steep is you may bounce off the rev limiter between shifts. And excessive rpm on the highway.

 

It gets rid of the differential. Locks the two axles together permanently.

 

I personally would wait for 5.29

 

I think that’s good lol

 

Good and bad. Defjjjtely wears tires way faster. Drifts bad in rain and snow.

Not for everyone. But definitely for me!!

What about 295's ??

 

I've got 295's for tire size..4.88 be good ?

 

Sounds like I’d like it

 

What’s 295. Like 35’s?

 

Depends. Some 295’s are bigger than others. Tape measure time
