wat gears for take off

Talk to anyone around here that has the 4.56's and they will tell you they saw a definate power increase and a mileage increase. If you are a highway person then these giant gears would kill your mileage, but if you are around town it really helps it. More tq to the wheels = less throttle needed to achieve the desired speed. It's simple math. Also with bigger+better gears it takes stress off of your engine. As far as the price I would go to airram.com for parts since your dad is doing the install. figure right about $1000. Reason I say that is because if you are doing this then you want it done right. Get either Yukon/motive 4.56 gears for the front+rear, the master install kits for the front and rear (they include new bearings+bushings), and get a Detroit Tru-trac. The LSD's in our trucks are a ticking timebomb and don't work worth a darn. Hell my truck didn't want to move in 2 inches of snow in 2wd with 11.5'' wide AT's. Our LSD's SUCK!!! the Detroit Tru trac is the way to go for a daily driver because it is open going around turns, but if you put the peddle down both tires will be going. If you are tinkering with something like that I would not cheap out. Just my humble .02
Something I am confused about, would I have to do both front and rear gears? I was assuming that since it wasn't awd, I could do just the rear. Not necessarily trying to cheap my way out of it, but maybe I would if I "could"

Makes perfect sense. But, I wouldnt see any benefit as far as mpg's, I can't keep my foot out of it as it is!! Before my little homemade cai setup, I was getting 11.5 mpg, which is what we get in the Durango. Now I get 13 or so.

Well, now I feel foolish for thinking nonsense!! Haha. Obviously I don't know too much about the tranny/rearend world, despite who Im related too. Ol' man always told me he'd beat me if he ever caught me with a wrench in my hand. I think thats why he never taught me much, so Id keep coming to him for help. But, Id rather get caught with a wrench in my hand than a chainsaw, at least his shop is heated
DodgeitRamit- Now, I would love to hook you up, but that would be taking from my freebies (not that Im on a limited supply per say, but I don't like being a "burden")
Thanks for the info once again fellas, ya'll are more active here than my mustang forum I frequent....
