"you guys" with the hemi's? hell im running a 4.7 and I drive around town with the tow/haul on. The 3.55 gears are just way too tall.
Im running 30" tires, and still run down the highway at 70 with tow/haul on. Besides, when your trying run the truck man, you dont want to be hanging out in OD man.
PS... i get about 4 MPG better on freeway @ 70 with OD off. JFYI.

Guys I gotta agree
I just tossed in a Detroit Tru Trac and 4.56gears last weekend
Finally broke them in and WOW what a difference,, If I punch the gas anywhere in 1st gear ill break the tires loose now
This is in a 4.7L as well..
I'd say by far best mod ive done to the truck yet..
On the highway its a little more of a pig on gas but it pulls soooo much better up the speedo at any speed

xill...
is your truck a 2wd? if im not mistaken, and maybe pyro can second this, but 4.88's are only offered for two wheel drive rigs.
With these 4.7's, the switch to 4.56's is not only a healthy performance modification, but eases the strain on your drivetrain. You may not think your using a lot of throttle to get up and moving, but its amazing the difference you feel.
LOL, i talk like i know. I have just regeared other vehicles and know the feeling.
OP... 4.56's man, it the eonly way to go.
