Default Making sure Im ordering right gears

So I ordered my superchips 3865 yesterday and I am going to order my 4.56 gears either tonight or tomorrow... I just wanted to check with everyone and make sure these are the right ones before I hit complete transaction..

Here is the link for the gears...

Assuming you have a 4x4 and you are going to use your existing differentials these will work. General rule is 31 and under use 4:10, larger tires use 4:56, really big tires 4:88.

37s will be rough on your IFS but it's doable. Largest gears you can run are the 4.56s on your 4x4 anyways since the front diff housing won't fit 4.88s. Not sure who will be installing your gears, but the guy will need to shave part of the front carrier in order to fit the 4.56s. Hopefully they wont give you any trouble about it.
