If you whell don'tgo over 35s. 4.88s and 35s would be a surprisingly fun thing.

Whatever you decide to do, it's going to look great. 35" tires on a reg. cab short bed is going to look fricken tall. The 4.10's with the 35's are very nice, but if you have the money to do so, I would definately go with the 4.56's as well. Had my truck not come with 4.10's, it would definately be something I would have done, but it'd be stupid to spend $1500 on a minimal swap out in gears. Can't wait to see thing lifted though, it's going to look so awesome!

That's the thing. I can swap the axels myself. Not sure about regearing...never done that before seems complicated. Instead of paying all that money to have someone install them, I could get bigger beefier axels, with 4.10s already in them and rear wheel disc brakes. Then when I feel confident enough to replace my own gears perhaps I'll do that.

If that's the case, all the more power to you,. Either way, 4.10s or 4.56's are both going to be a lot of fun!

Instead of 3inch suspension 3inch body I would go with 6.5" RCD long arm kit.

I really like the 7" Skyjacker coils and RK Long arms I have. The ride is way better than with the SJ 5" kit I had. Then put on a 3" body lift and run 38-39 tires. I currently have 37's and they are too small for 10" of lift IMHO.
