From what I understand 4.56's are the lowest you can get into the 9.25" pumpkin. A few of the guys around here have done this already so you might check which brands people are running and how they're holding up. Also break-in is critical with new gears so you don't want to push em hard right outta the box.

thats a pretty good thread for 4.56's as far as prices and brands go. theres a few other threads, i just searched "price for gears" and a bunch came up.

4.56's to be sure, but it's not the 9.25" AAM rear that's the issue for 4.88s. They are readily available to our 2wd brothers, it's the front pumpkin nobody makes them for...
