well what kind of truck are we talking about, what axles do you have under it ?

For 38s you're gonna wanna run 4.88s (if you have a 9.25 rear end) or 5.13s (if you have a Dana 60/70/80 rearend). 4.88s are as low as you can go with the 9.25 in 1500s

3.55 with 35s ? yeah im running it for now..

yea i will be too in a month or so but 38's on 4.10's i think is too much. i think it can be done but major loss in gas mileage and power..
