Howzit Eduan,

It depends on what you are planning to do?
If you looking for speed, or power? Perhaps find out what ratios you are running standard on the vehicle.
The 4x2 ratios are normaly a bit higher to make up for the lower power output at lower revs.

I am currently trying to source a KZte box and drive train for my 1UZ conversion as I am getting 125km/h at 3600rpm, which is not ideal. Gearbox gets too hot.
My hilux is a bit older obviously.
Research, research, research is all i can suggest before you commit to any plan or idea.

Think twice, spend once! :thumbup:
