Quick way to identify T18 with low first gear?

[jafo]

If you dont see a ton of rocks while off roading, you will likely be happy with a CR in the 50's

Here is some options I am looking at.
Np435 6.68 x stock Dana 300 2.62 x 3.54 = CR of 62

Np435 6.68 x 4 low kit Dana 300 4.0 x 3.54 = CR of 95

T-18 4.02 x Dana 300 stock 2.62 x 3.54 = CR of 37

T-18 4.02 x m9d Dana 300 4.0 x 3.54 = CR of 57

I found a supply of 435's. He wants $350 each. After really pushing around some numbers, the 435 seems to be a better option than thw current T-18 . No matter what, the T-18 gearing just comes up short. I can do more with less with the np435 option. It's a matter of just getting my hands on a good one and going from there. I just need to pick one and go.

Sounds like you have picked one, now go git'er done.

...... it's still going to be expensive.
