Rigs running planetary axles

[TheMonster77]

I have a truck with ZF planetary axles and also have some 5 ton Meritor axles and I have found they are extremely tough and I love to see other guys set ups and builds with planetary axles. Post up some pictures! I'll start with mine. Its a 1989 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 it has a throttle body 350 V8, 700R4 trans, NP241 transfer case, ZF planetary axles that are geared 22:1, 54 Boggers, and Trailready beadlocks.

How is it with the 22.1 gear ratio?

I run my transfer in high range most of the time but it will run probably 40mph but if I really want to crawl I can put it in low and it will go without touching the gas pedal.
