Re: what is the best gear ratio for a 400 goin to 36 inchers
Yeah, I know what ya mean. It looks like on the chart that 4.11's would work. But of course, that is border line geared a tad too high, so it wouldnt quite have the low end grunt as say 4.56's. But you would be able to cruise down the highway at a decent rpm and get better gas mileage than a lower gear. I think a well built 400 would be able to pull 36's with 4.11's just fine. Because there is a little 4 banger toyota running around here with 4.10's and 36's and his pulls them relatively good..although he has burnt out like 5 clutches in the past year and a half!!

Re: what is the best gear ratio for a 400 goin to 36 inchers
I'm not sure what gear ratio I would go with 
. It really just depends on your driving style and what you intend to do with the truck. And I'm sure you could make the 36's fit with no lift, but you might have to shave the fenders a considerable amount, and it might not be pretty.
