thats not bad.. for the price... diffs are a touchy thing and you really need to make sure whos putting them knows what they are doing... especially when you bust out 1200 bux for front and rear lockers... but the ratios your looking for are lookin good... thast the suggested ratio for 35s and higher... 4.10's would be for 30-33's

If your truck is a standard I would go with 4:10s, 4:56s would be good but you'll run high rpms.

If it is a auto, I would go 4.88s

I have 4:56 and they do the job but would rather have 4.88

this is for a 9.25" rear right?

I'm running 35's and just got my 4.56 gears, a Trutrac posi unit for the rear, two install kits and front carrier for $1100. from DTS. http://www.drivetrainspecialists.com/
Did the calculation and should put my RPM's about 250 higher than stock.
The 3.55's were too low when stock in my opinion. I like umph off the line or when hauling.

no kiddng... ididnt know they just came out... im not at ps.com as much as i am here...

yea chopper them new gears should do your new tires justice... like my situation..my gears are too high (or low..not sure) for my size tires... 265's with 4.10's main reason why im getting crappy mileage... when i get my 33's i should be seeing a 500 rpm decrease at 75mph in OD witch would significantly help out my mpgs!
