A-833 2.47 1st gear change to 3.09

It's all in the combo of parts and it depends on what you're comfortable with, I put 8 3/4 in my vehicles and have different ratios of 3rd members to choose from, you would love 3.91's, just let the RPM's sing most of the time and when you want to go on a long trip 2.94's, it only takes 60 minutes to swap 3rd members.
Exactly. And for my combo of parts I’m pretty happy with the way it drives just need to tweak it. I am currently putting together a 8-3/4 and have 2.94 3rd waiting to go as soon as I get BBP axles and my 11” drums bought/.put together. Depending on how I like 3.09 1st gear will dictate how what gears I put in my second pumpkin 3.23/3.55).
