Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 3.33 gears for reverse Dana 60?

[dodgeguy44]

Does anyone know of someone who makes 3. 33 gears for a Dana 60 front diff?



I would like to try 3. 33 gears in my truck to bring the rpm's down where they should be, but can't find the fronts. Dana 80 rears are no problem.

Have you thought about bigger tires, maybe 17s off a 3rd Gen? What RPM are you turning at 70mph? I had thought about 3. 33 gears for my 4x2 shortbed for better highway cruising, but doing it to a 4x4 dually seems like it would overgear it. It might work for towing if you use 4th all the time, I had thought about doing that too.

I would like to get the rpm's down around 1700 @ 110 kph (70 mph) then use 4th for hills or when needed. I am using 235/85R16 tires but gearing is much cheaper than larger wheels and tires, especially 19. 5 wheels.
