Which gears

I couldnt figure out which section to put this in so I put it here and RP you can move it where it should go. Anyways, this spring I wanna regear my truck, Im thinkin I wanna do 4.88s since in about a year or so I plan on getting 37s. What gears are the best to get for the front and rear. Ive heard yukon and genuine mentioned a lot, but there arent a lot of shops that sell those. So what gears are the best, price aside, and give your reason for choosing them. thanks

From what research I've done on here (looking to get 4.56s) Yukons and Precision Gears are the top choices. Genuine gears a little cheaper and made of a slightly less durable alloy.

I've pretty much decided on going with Precisions.

4 Wheel Parts sells all of the above.

I have genuine 4.56's and their great thus far....it's just personal preference between the 3 I guess. But if you are going to 37's soon then get the 4.88's

When i regeared to 4.56s in 2005 the Yukons were the only ones available to me. I have about 49K miles on them and they are great!

If you're going to be getting 37s than why even consider anything other than 4.88s. Precision in the rear and Yukons in the front. I might have that backwards though.
