No never had 4.10s. Buy its a given that 4.10 will pull better than 3.5.With stock tire size and comparable setup to mine? You used to have 4.10's?

Yeah I know I've been looking around at it... ive heard 305/75R-16 fits stock without rubbing just a little bumper adjustment but hard size to find. 315/75 is easier to find but I dont want to deal with rubbing. So I'd have to run 285/75-16 which is only about 5% bigger. I may run them anyway, ha!How about taller rubber?
how bad do you need 4x4?
swap it out, try it out, then change the front or change back to stock
look for the gears and have someone install them
local guy in my old jeep club set up gears for 80 bucks
you did the math, Well done, so you have a firm grasp of your situation and needs, what about just a r\p swap in the front, Or ya could ship a center section?
Just thinking here.
I'm pumped for the swap now that I have the power!3.55 to 4.10 makes a good difference in towing ability with a na truck, but once you got turbo intercooler, you’ve got plenty of power to get up to speed. Interesting note, although taller tires will usually read less power on a dyno, 3.55 gears will typically read more power than 4.10s.
It's because the MPH of the rollers needs to change further from 2k to redline. It takes longer, which gives your turbo more time to spool up.I'm pumped for the swap now that I have the power!
That's really interesting about the dyno, I wonder why. Rolling resistance? But that doesnt say anything about 4.10 vs 3.55. Huh.
You always want to dyno a zf in fourth because that’s your 1:1 gear, you will get the most accurate reading there, although on an unloaded dyno you may see a slight improvement in 5th since you will have more load on the engine to spool the turbo, but also more frictional loss with the .7ish gearingIt's because the MPH of the rollers needs to change further from 2k to redline. It takes longer, which gives your turbo more time to spool up.
It's going to really depend on the turbo, though - I'd expect a non-wastegated turbo to have this more than a wastegated(smaller) turbo.
Personally, I found that with Banks Sidewinder turbo, zf5 and 4.10s, I got the best dyno numbers in 4th. This reduced gear losses evidently. The difference was like 10HP though.
That's funny, I should sell my 4.10 axle set to some guy in Cali, lol!With all this discussion (and some on another forum where this was mentioned) apparently you cant get 4.10 gears in liberalfornia.... (maybe just after a certain year of production, they consider it no different than tampering with exhaust/emissions equipment)
Don't believe it, do a search. Lol I was about to call a guy out, but wanted to have all the facts first. Glad I researched it.

It doesn’t really matter if the engine is turbo or not, a stock Prius would see a power change with a gear set change, here’s a great explanation stolen from an ls forum I snoop on.
"Higher ratio gears will give you lower chassis dyno numbers for a strange, but logical reason. In essence, the DynoJet calculates hp based on the time it takes to spin up the 2800lb roller assembly. It's basically work divided by time and rpm. Think about this: If you car is at idle in neutral and you stab the throttle, it will take time to accelerate to redline...let's say 1.1 seconds. Now let's say it takes 8.2 seconds for your car to accelerate the DynoJet from low speed to top speed with 3.23 gears and 7.3 seconds with 3.73 gears. Dyno printout says 355 rwhp with 3.23 gears and 346 rwhp with 3.73 gears...why?
Think aabout this: In the 8.2 seconds it takes to spin the rollers with 3.23 gears, it would still take the motor about 1.1 seconds to overcome its own inertia (idle to redline). There's about 13.4% of the work used just to accelerate the motoritself. With 3.73 gears, the time to reach redline decreases to 7.3 seconds. Divide the 1.1 seconds into the 7.3 seconds and you will see that overcoming the internal engine inertia costs 15.1% of the work with 3.73 gears. There is less hp available during this time period to spin the rollers so the DynoJet will read a slightly lower hp figure.
Really there’s dozens of factors that also play into this, like rob said having more time to spool a turbo would benefit your torque figure, although a good operator and a loaded dyno should be able to set the dyno up that this shouldn’t matter as much. Another couple factors are rotating mass and frictional loss. A 3.55 gear set is smaller than a 4.10, so it’s less mass the engine has to perform work on, and less frictional loss to gear fluid.
Is this deep enough down the rabbit hole josh?
That's what I've read many times, thanks for the confirmation.You always want to dyno a zf in fourth because that’s your 1:1 gear, you will get the most accurate reading there, although on an unloaded dyno you may see a slight improvement in 5th since you will have more load on the engine to spool the turbo, but also more frictional loss with the .7ish gearing
