Gear Installation

Hey guys just wondering what is about an average/decent proce for have bew gears bought and unstalled and everything front and rear on a 4x4 07screw. I have the 3.55s right now with 33.5" tires and the stock 20s and its killing me. I was thinking yukon 4.10s or 4.30s, theres not a great difference in rpms between the two. Every person on here says 4.56s with 35s and 4/30s with 33s is about the same ratio. I do a good mix of city and some hundred plus mile hwy trips (75-80 mph). I appreciate you guys help

I know the prices for the 4.88s are different than the 4.56s. Expect to pay installed anywhere from $1400-$2000. This includes gears, diff cover, and oil.

4.30s in your situation.

I wouldn't go any higher unless you are getting a larger diameter tire...

4.30s at least but do you think you'll ever go to 35s? If so, do yourself a favor and get the 4.56s. It'll be a little more gear than what you need but you'll be thanking me once you get 35s.
