I've been contemplating about the 4.88s rather than my 4.56s I wanna get. I want some "putting my butt back in the seat" effect.

I've got 4.56s in the Ford. It can accelerate pretty smartly for a 8000lb truck.

I was gonna say 4.88s are gonna make your engine scream, but you've got bigger tires.

I thinks Ford needs to look at this picture:

Driver of the Ford lost control, served into the other lane, and hit the Nissan "t bone" style and was pushed down the enbankment.

Look at the damage to each vehicle, there was no mention of speed but damn, that Ford is toast... (they both are but I'd say the Nissan came out better)

^ Happened today on 58 in Carroll County, 2006 F150 and 2006 Nissan Titan.

Despite the damage both drivers should be ok.

Was going to get a new windshield through Safelite, previous quotes had the price right around $200, must have been a short time special, price now is $258. Local glass shop will do it for $223, so going local... New glass on Thursday

Maybe I'll get it inspected after.....

If you are even remotely considering 37's, go with the 4.88s.
