1994 4cyl 2wd 4" lift and 32x11.5 inch tires.
Haven't installed the lift or tires yet but I have them. I know it's going to be a slug so I was wondering if you guys could help me with gearing. It's stock right now and it's a 5 speed. Thanks guys

I have a 97 2.3 auto with 4.10 rearend. I have 4 inch lift and 31s. With the auto my speedo is dead on. And I believe the 4.10 is the best gear. I will be going to 32s. I don't believe you will need 4.56 or higher. Being you have a 5 speed. Your truck has better power displacement then my auto does. Because mine is a slug. Sucks on highway when in overdrive. I'm planning a 4.56 limited slip swap in the 7.5 rearend and planning a turbo build on my motor. No more then 15 psi of boost, .46 ar turbo off an auto trans turbo coupe for more low end boost and rebuilding and keeping the auto trans.

First off what gears do you have now? My truck does 70 at 2500rpm in over drive with 31s

At least 4.56. Those older 2.3 engines are weak power wise, but last a long time.

4.10 or 4.56 depending on driving you do. 2.3 lima are slugs in stock form anyway.

Yeah mine wasn't too bad with the 31"s on it it but the 15x10" pro comp steel wheels and 32"s made a difference. So I think I'll go with 4.10. What is your gas mileage with the 4.10 and the lift?

City and auto right now I'm at 16.5 that's what my ultra gauge shows. Not bad at all. Steel wheels is where your issue is. They are heavy. I has 15x10 steels with 33x12.50 rollers they were okay. But heavy. What 32s do you have
----------
I may possibly go to 4.56 and install a trac loc if I can find one. I want low end power.
