if you're doing big tires, gearing down your diffs will make it better as a DD because it'll be getting you closer to the stock final drive ratio, which is where that 4.8 will enjoy its life much better. it'll also save you a bit of gas around town.

Cus the 4.8 with a 4x4 is weak as it is then you add the tires and crap with it and then its really weak, and so what if its a dd most the trucks on here are DDs

The difference between winning and losing, is having a 2nd stage.
Put a tornado in and a Fitch fuel catalyst. You'll get plenty of low end power due to the Tornado's tornado-ing effect acting much like a supercharger.

Because we know what we're talking about. You aren't going to get what you want out of a 4.8 in a 4x4. The end.

I like how anything with gears or higher stall is automatically a rock crawler and drag strip beast. It's called "every action has an equal or opposite reaction". Automotive 101. Taller tires will make the vehicle act as though it has a higher (numerically lower) gear ratio in it. To correct this, one must install lower (numerically higher) gears. Or live with it. The 4.8 is a high revving motor, why that design was built for a truck is beyond me, but that's not the point. The sooner you get it into it's powerband the better, or yes it will feel like a dog. Again, gears and a higher stalling torque converter.

ok, then another crappy GM design, screw that! a high revving engine, and a heavy body.... How much can i get for my truck? ECSB, 143K 4.8 two tone, Z71 pkg. AR 20" rims mud terrains. Or would it be better selling off at an public auction?

GM, Ford, Jeep, Dodge, etc..... Don't matter what it is, bigger tires need GEARS.
20's aren't helping either.
