Need some advice regarding 4L80E and gears

Ya I would say 4.30s would be good

Sounds like 4.11's or 4.30's it is...I'd most likely buy the gears from Ron's Machining and I've read some reviews on the USA Standard gears. Do y'all like them? I'd probably get a Valuetrac to go along with it

i got the 4.11s and valuetrac from rons and they seem to be doing great. I was going to get the 4.30s but they were more $ because USA Standeard dont make a 4.30 so I would have to use a more expensive brand.

Thanks for chiming in man! Sounds like that will be the setup I go with

How many miles do you have on your gears?

Another reason why LS1Truck is now my favorite forum

i ran 4:11s with my 80e and it was great, even for a DD, remember the 80 e and 60e have the same overdrive gear ratio so nothing will change on the highway, also i liked the 80 much better because 1st shifted out at 49 2nd shifted at 91 and 3rd shifted at 152, never found out how high OD would go this AWD trans will be getting an 80 when it gives up the ghost.

USA is a good brand. Ask any reputable gear installer, Just a different name on the box
