Best Answer

It actually depends on your rear end. You can replace the gears for speed or power but you really can't have both. If you have speed gears with 500 horses turning them you could strip them and if you have power gears you could still get up to speed with them but you could run into transmission problems.

What is a two speed differential and how does it work?

A 2-speed rear axle is usually used in medium to heavy duty trucks to obtain a little better fuel economy. Low- speed gives more power to initially start heavy loads. Hi- speed is used after vehicle is in motion. Low speed is as stated low speed, but hi power. Hi speed is higher speed but less power delivered to the drive wheels. I am not sure of the actual ratio numbers.
