I'm only tried out the 8.85:1 low gear from a stand still once and without a load is totally not needed. I drove all weekend with the rear in high gear and had no troubles keep pace with traffic up to 50mph.
If you bought it because I posted it, then you owe me a beer or three!! LOL!!
Have you installed the big compressor and underbed air horn yet??
Scare those little commuter cars right off the road!!

Now if someone would just fall in love with this green machine-------
