yup. once I get my stupid front bumper situation fixed i'll be regearing the rear end I'm still debating between the 4.56 or 4.88 but I'm leaning towards the 4.88

BTW anyone know the spline count on the stock pinion gear offhand?

Does your truck have a limited slip or open diff? One black mark or two?

What gear does it have now? 3.55 or 3.73.

YOur current tire is 31.74" in diameter... 4.88's MAY be a little much for you if you do any signifigant highway driving. If over 50% of your driving is in town.. 4.88's all the way. And some traction bars!
