Ok so I have had my Disco II for a couple of months now and i have heard so many different things about my gear ratio. So i finally asked my dealer what it was and they said that it was 3.54 in the front and rear. Is this correct?? Some of my friends don't seem to believe that it is that low. In the case that it is that low is there any need to change gearing when i replace the stock tires to a 265/75/16 MT??

3.9's would be nice if you don't want to loose to much power.

well tell your friends that it also has a 1.22 high range ratio and that makes you really the same as 4.30:1 at the tires compared to other trucks:D

lotsa guys running 265's without gears.

I noticed a lil difference with the 265's, but its not bad enough to warrant a change yet.
Now when i get the 285's for summer, ill be looking to re-gear then.
