Check out airram.com he has good prices, and I think you need 9.25. Also you might want to go with 4.10's instead of 4.56, Derrick said the v6 has a little trouble with the 4.56 at highway speeds. Do you have lsd or are you going to get one when you swap gears? Here is a link to his VIP sale from his sig on another site http://www.airram.com/product.php?ca...earchquery=VIP

If you gear up I would say go ahead and get it put in then. I am thinking about doing an lsd eventually, but right now I don't have the money. The link I gave you is a vip sale for the gears, lsd, and master install kit.

No, I'm not sure if I'm gonna gear up at all. My stock is 3.55 open and the main thing I want is the lsd.

That was my next question. I'm guessing the bigger tires are for off-roading so I would go ahead and get the lsd too once you get the cash. How big of a tire are you getting, from what I have read your gearing should go up the same percentage as tire size does compared to your stock oem tires.
