Thank you so much Rich! That is great!
After learning that all of the 4x4's (at least those with the 205) came from the factory with a ratio adapter, you can imagine my surprise and chuckling when I found no such adapter in place on my truck.
If a 28% adapter gets me close, that will be more than sufficient.
So, 1.300 speed up is what, 30%? Sorry for the dumb math question. History was my strong suit in school.
LOL!
Side note: It's all starting to make sense now. Previous owner bought it from Texas. Tried 4x4 for the first time and figured out pretty quickly that it had mismatched gear ratios front to back. Front was 3.73 and rears were 3.08. He got 3.73's back in. But that would explain the removal of the adapter. If someone is cheaping out and wants to change gear ratio without doing both axles, they would naturally do the rear and leave the front alone. But then it has 35" tires... HAHA! I give up.
