Re: lowest gear that will fit
If it's a 12 bolt truck rear end a 3.08 gear will have a 3 series carrier. The 3.73's and lower (numerically higher) require a 4 series carrier.

Re: lowest gear that will fit
What I was afraid of stuck with 3.42 for lowest that will fit.Maybe just call it compromise between MPG and fun.

Re: lowest gear that will fit
There are 3.73 gear sets available that will bolt to a 3 series truck 12-bolt carrier. Might cost a bit more though.

Re: lowest gear that will fit
You can get "thick" ring gears for a series 3 carrier, all the way up to 4.56.
