 My thought is, if you have the three speed auto and 33s, you could use 5.38s and be perfect! What's that? Can't find any? Oh that's ok, I have a set for sale out of a 91 8v 4dr. Pm me if you are interested.

I like the 5.12s with my 33s.  It would be nice to have 5.83 when the truck is loaded and I have to get going uphill, but other than that, I hardly notice the difference.  Plus, It's like having an extra overdrive gear.  I still use it off the highway, get some decent mileage cruising at 50 mph.


I haven't used 5th gear since I fitted the 33s and on a hill I often need to use 3rd to stop the speed dropping below 60mph (which is around 50 on the speedo). It really sucks.
