Default radix+rwd+4.10 GEARS!!!

i have a 2006 sss with 3.73 right now and thinking of installing some 4.10s to get me a little higher in rpm when im in 3rd gear crossing the traps.my best et was 12.5 @ 108 with lots of wheel hop!!but i will be fixing this too....I know that traction will be a little harder but i seen trucks and tbss rwd with 4.10s that hook with NO problem, and have way more power than i do....
is anybody currently running 4.10 rwd with a maggie?? is it worth it ????
give me some reviews on your likes and dislikes??

THANKS IN ADVANCE

Id fix your traction issues first and just add more power, the swap from 3.73 to 4.10 especially in an extended cab is no where near one of the first mods Id do. More like the last...

What size tire are you running, that might be an easier fix for the track.

I run 30.5" tires, 3.73 rear.... 28" would be about perfect for me I cross the traps ~5200 IIRC

Yes, work on other areas first and worry about gears later. If you have $500-1000 to spend on something there's a lot better things then gears for results, traction being #1.
