No. The 2.62 is the same gear ratio, but the rear diff and axles are not as robust.axles the same too?
Same thing with short and tall gears, the 2.62 is taller than the 3.09 which is shorter but many get it backwards lol. [emoji3]I didn't realize at that time that the 2:62 was the stock ratio and the 3:09 option actually the lower one. It's that 'Lower # = Higher ratio vs Higher # = Lower ratio' thing that confuses people who don't have a mechanical background (I'm being kind here).
