Well fellas its time to throw some gears in the ride. 4.88s or 4.56. I don't care about mileage at all, truck gets 10 right now with thee 35s and 3.55s. Just looking for some input oh what gears and what brand

 

54 views and no one has an opinion?

 

I am in the same boat. I hear good things about Randy's Ring & Pinion and HorsepowerTV Xtreme 4X4 always uses their services.

 

Yukon Gear , 4.56 . They woke up my truck . I have had no problems after a proper break in .

 

How do you use your truck....and my neighbor works for a chevy dealer and has never had a richmond gear come back broken, most of his rear end work is done with high horsepower corvettes and camaros and diesels

 

There was another thread on just this topic today. Question becomes, what is the primary use of your truck? Daily driver? Freeway? Towing? Off-roading? Drag strip?

 

daily driver, that is going to see the highway, that is going to tow, that is going to be out in the silver lake sand dunes, and its going to take my out into the woods

 

Ok, so, what would your priority be for best usage then? What do you really want from the truck? (and how much highway to you really do?)

 

The choice to go to 4.88 or not really boils down to how much highway driving you do and what speeds. If you hit the interstate everyday and like to do 75-80, stay with 4.56.

Also, if you think there is a chance that you will downsize to smaller tires someday, 4.56 would be better again.

 

Can you put 4.56 gears into a normal Dana 60 housing without issues? Do you only need to replace the Ring and Pinion or more than that? I need to do both front and rear at the same time, correct?
