@hat man: did your ‘97 have 14 or 15 inch wheels? I’ve wondered what final drive would be best. It currently has the original size 225/70R15 on steel wheels with 4:10 open diff which I’m replacing with another of the same, because I got a much less rusty one with lower miles for short money. I’ll probably stick with that ratio (though I’d LOVE a limited-slip rear!), between the taller tires, working loads, and hilly areas it sees. I plan on a slight change in tire size, switching to 215/70R16 LRR tires on Steelies with moon discs. There are far more low rolling resistance tire choices in 16” vs. 15” sizes, and that size is a mere 4/10th of an inch taller than OE. I’ll get a pair for the rear for starters. The fronts will have to wait until i save up some more and also find out how well it can be aligned in its present condition.
