More than 3.42 and you´ll start using more fuel plus an irritating higher revving motor. I went from 2.80 to 3.42, just enough. |

I went from 2.56 to 3.42 as well... definitely a good compromise.. I've got manual 5 speed though. |

3.42 works well with a 3 speed, depending on what size tyres you have on the back. Any higher and you really need OD, I run 4.11's in my 12 bolt. Which is great for launches, but it shreds tyres... |

It´s best to buy new, if you buy a set out of the axle you´ll never get them set up correctly again.You need to check the gear mesh pattern before removing them and installing in yours. |

So if I were to find a place that would do this for me would they know if it would fit before I buy ? |

Here's a bunch of ' em, choose the price you want to pay. http://www.summitracing.com/int/search/ ... cation=int Do you have a limited slip diff ? You´ll need an installation kit too, shims and bearings. I used Yukon, supposed to be the best. http://www.summitracing.com/int/search/ ... cation=int Don´t take my word for it though, you´ll have to make sure you know what type of rear axle you have. |
