4.88's.

You might lose 1 MPG compared to 4.56's on the highway... but they'll be much better around town.

Driving a lifted gasoline truck with 37's... Why even bother caring about gas mileage.

4.88's... Minimum... 4.56's and you'll still have less gear than a stock truck.

EDIT: 4.56's on 37's is almost EXACTLY the same as a stock tire (265/60/18 30.5") with 3.73

4.88's with be the better choice as these truck are undergeared from the factory.

I used Yukon 4.56's front & rear. $160.00 front, $209.00 rears $143.00 for bearings, seals , RTV. $680.00 for an Elocker in the front. I did the labor myself.
Total $1192.00 It goes everywhere now!

Precision Gears are top notch, but probably most expensive...you pay for what you get...

I have Precision Gears in my 94 F150 4X4 work truck. I went from 3.08's to 4.10's in both diffs, along with a Detroit Locker in the rear and an Auburn posi up front. Total with all new bearings, seals, gears, locker, posi and labor was just over $1700. I used to hate having to try and move loaded trailers around on muddy job sites, but its really fun now!!
