Re: how about 31's, True-trak's, and 4.10 gears?
 

Sounds good going with the gearing.... Note: I have 3.73 diffs (stock sahara
on my 2000) and just installed 32s tires and I am noting a decline in power
(via geaing) and braking reduced effectiveness. So I will "downsize" to 31s
(worstcase) or get bigger brakes via ford 9" axles next (along with new
gearing)... So I think if you want 31s your gearing and braking is ok and
just learn how to use your new lockers......as I will have to when I get
them...
