alright i got a 1980 toyota 4x4 with a 20r and a 4 speed. i just bought a set or 35x13.5 toyo m/t's. this is my daily driver and i was wondering what i should gear my axles at. it is also a weekend warior. i already a have 63" chevy's for my lift and im throwing some NOS 87 toyota rear springs up front. got a lock rite for the rear and a aussi for the front. also got set of 36's irocs

Sounds like 529 gears....it won't be very fast on the highway though with only a 4 speed.

would it be worth it to swap in a 5 speed out of a newer truck? would this help with the highway cruisin

It would help with highway cruising, plus a five speed from a new truck is going to be stronger.

WTFawk ...... I thought for sure you'd recomend the 5:71's :laughing:

Dont bother, with a 20R and 35 or 36's you're not going to use fifth gear anyway unless you're going down hill. Put the 5.29's in and drive it.

5.29

And wait untill your 4spd goes to shit, then swap in the 5spd. :grinpimp:
