I found someone to install new gears for my truck.. He's supposed to be real good.. He said labor would be $325+tax... I think thats pretty resonable...

I also had a talk with a tech from Randy's ring and pinion...

I told him I was looking into getting a 4.56 gear set because nobody makes a 4.30 for a 9.75" rear end. He recommended 4.11 gears.

He strongly recommended me not to get a 4.56 gear because of my tire size.. Right now, im running a 29.5"ish tire and soon I will be puttin on my new Lariet wheels and tires which are 30ish"..

What do you guys think? Is 4.56 too steep for daily driving on my 30" tires..
Bout 50/50 Highway/City driving.

 

4.11s...

Im only going 4.56s once I get my 35s.

 

yea def. sounds steep as ive got 31.8"s stock with my 3.73 ls... was planning on upping once i went over 33-35" 4.11 sounds better than a .56 for the size you're lookin at

 

how much do gears themself cost? I may upgrade them this winter for my 35's that are gonna be here in like 2 1/2 weeks .

 

git ready to dish out 800-grand ish all said and done

 

do you mean 800ish or 8thousandish? Surely it's 800ish

 

I was quoted today at $236 for the gear set, $125 for the pinion kit and 3$25 for the install...

Mine is a 2wd though..... 4wd is a whole other/more expensive ball game.

 

I was thinking 4.56 was a little steep even for 35's. I wouldn't even think of trying it with 30's. I wish someone would make 4.30 ish for our trucks. I was thinking of going to the 35's and I would rather get the 4.30 gears than 4.56. by the way those of you with 35's and 4.56, what rpms are you running at 65 mph. although if I did get 4.56 I could probably tow without turning off the overdrive.

 

haha 800k yeaaaa i hope not, i mean around $800 to 1000 range

 

whew, I like that figure better

 

if i remember correctly the guy at reider racing quoted me around 625 for the front and rear and the install kit. it was for a 4.10.

 

I have 4.56s and 37s and i think that gearset is right near stock with maybe a little more pep off the line. I would definately NOT get 4.56s unless you are running 35s or 37s. Thats my opinion.
4.11s would be great for your application.
Give us some feedback after you install your gears.

 

I have to buy them first.. then wait a few more paychecks to get them installed..

Im waiting till the end of the month to buy them though... Make sure my bills get paid easily.

 

Digging this one back up!

Sal FX4,

Where did you get your gears and how much was the install if you don't mind me asking?

Thanks,
Matt
