I lifted my 2002 dodge ram with a 6in lift and 35s back in aug. and now i want to change my gears out. right now there 3.55 and im thing 4.56 or 4.88 and the big ? is will this save me gas? or is it just a waste of money

 

4.56, best mod you can do. youll actually get better mileage.

 

thats what i meant to ask. better mpg thats always good. so why go with the 4.56s ove the 4.88?

 

cuz i dont know anything about the 4.88's, and everyone here who has done gears has done the 4.56's and love them.

 

That helps alot thanks

 

about how much do rear end gears run you? and do you end up with better torque and smoother driving?

 

when i called 4wheelparts the guy i talked to said i $465 for a set of the front and back 4.56 gears

 

really, well thats not too bad. might be something i add to the list.

 

With 35 inch tires you will want to run 4:56 gears! You put in 4:88's and you will have more torque and power but you will see a loss in MPG! With 4:56 you will see a 1-2 mpg loss on the highway but a 1-2 MPG increase in the city! If you had 37" or bigger tires then yes I would say 4:88. I am running 37" tires and still love my 4:56's!!! They are the best mod to date! If you are going to get gears done then you should try to bargain with them to do a Auburn LSD or a Detroit Tru Trac at the same time! It will save you money doing it all at once! When I went to 4 wheel parts I talked them down to almost installing the Detroit Tru Trac for free since they were already going to be in the rear diff!

 

Auburn LSD or a Detroit Tru Trac what are these? and i have the same tires as you do in the pic i love them. never been stuck. im trying to get pics up on here soon but just havent got to it. also i live in ithaca with a **** tone of hills is t still worth me getting the gears? and and brand i should go with?
