Jake, the 4.56 gears worked fine on my old K/SA wagon at 4395 pounds. That makes your combo at 4108 pounds needing a 4.33 gear with the 4.56's being the most you'll need. Remember what everyone has told you, it's a "torque" motor, not a "RPM" motor. Your going to go thru the traps at about 6000, not 6500 or 6800, or 7000. I'm going to get in touch with my buddy Todd. He just finished his motor and it ran very well. Maybe he can come up with something I've forgotten......at my advanced age, I forget a lot of stuff..........Oh, by the way, I have an old phone # for Danny Ashley. If you need it, let me know...................later......
