****acola what were your stock gears. how was the swap. huge diff or small

I ran 3.55's and 33"s for a few weeks after the lift but before the 4.10's & tune. It was kind of a dog after the tires on a 4.6, but I didn't recalibrate anything either until the tune and new gears. It took me back up and over the OTL speed I had with stock gears and tires. I had a shop install the gears and new LS at the same time. I saw what my buddy went through when he did his ranger and thought the $ was worth having it done right.

My '99 came from the factory with 32" (265/70-17) tires and 3.55 gears, so you'll be just fine with 1" taller tires (33") with that gear ratio.

33s with 3.55:1 gears.

For a year I ran 33's with 4.56's and I loved the combo. Now I have 35's and 4.56's

You can do it but you would have to regear soon after just so you dont risk the life of your tranny.

I recently got the 35's and I haven't been able to drive the truck alot lately so at the time I really cant answer that but I dont think it should be a significant difference at IMO.

I run (actually swap between and stock size) 33x13 TSL's, swapping back and forth with my stock 255/75. I got 3.55 with a truetrac, but I have the 4.6, so I'm not lovin the ratio with the bigger tires. When I trun 18, I might have enough cash to do a gear swap, and was thinkin id go with 4.56, since i pull horsees, boats, snowmobiles, etc, and its a standard, so the extra low for the dead pulls would help a lot.

So how much has it costed everyone for their gear swaps, because I'm expecting it to be around $1500, and I don't know if that is close or not.

Sounds too high unless they are real high end gears. Should be about $800-900.

having a shop do 4.56 yukon gears is running me 1300 bucks out the door, that includes tax, parts, fluid, install, etc.
