Creeper gear reduction is 4:1. I can't find the exact ratio of the low boy finals, but it is DEFINITELY not 12:1. Its around 4.5:1. (Big gear is 70 teeth, small one is 15 or 16. Can't find the number.) The fact that you are going to be running such a large tire (not quite as big as a low-boy) it should get you back in the game for torque. May not be as fast in 3rd as it was as a cadet, but are you going to use it to pull, or race?
