I'm running (or going to run) a 1.003 transfer ratio, Sheldon already has the gear to modify (given the time he's had it, it may be the one in his images).

Does this make a difference with unloading the adapter shaft through the LT230?Its running standard 3.54 ratio diffs, It currently is sitting on 31" tyres, thought I'd see how it drives before I select a permanent tyre size.Quote:

Cool. And series of gearbox is it?
You may even end up dropping back to a 1.192 or 1.222 transcase in the 6x6.
But that depends on gearbox ratios
IIRC its MSA-5P which apparently is the same ratios as the 5R but with the splitter.
5p should have the same ratios as a 5g.
Which is what i used to run with the 1.003 transcase and 285 tyres, i found it to tall when loaded in the mid to high gears, have now changed to a 1.192 tcase and a 5r gearbox, same mid ratios as the 5g, taller 1st and 5th.
I wouldn't spend much on a transcase just yet as i feel you might be changing it to a 1.222
