as long as it is 091 it will work the only difference between side and nose shift 091's is the shifting setup, the entire gear stack and ring and pinions are the same or so thats what ive been told several times by different folks

I see what your sayin but what are you after? Wheel speed, just lower gearing, maybe try running a shorter tire to put more power to the ground?

I believe most of you southern boys would run 40's if you could get the gearing,I like Chris comment,a lower first and second would be another option.Chad :mrgreen:

5.42 is the third strongest stock ratio, only 4.86 and 4.57 are stronger.

Eric Debord swapped my 4.57 for a 4.86 from a side shift but he needed to do a little machining,,,I also swapped out my first and second gears
