As you can see, the upgraded 4.08 final drive ratio is 9.93% taller, per gear, than the standard OEM final drive! We have also had numerous people asking us how the stock FD ratio compares to the the 4.08 and the 4.11. During this comparison, we are using a standard gear ratios, factory tire sizes, and swapping out the final drive. Note: This chart has been updated to reflect shifting at up to 9000 RPM!
