Gears What to go with?
I'm looking to put gears into my truck but I have no clue what are good brands and whether I should go with 4:10 or 4:56? My specs are below, Thank you.

Thank you, for clarifying that for me. What's a good brand, I was looking at Ford Racing?

I had Yukon 4.10's put in my 2000 Expedition. Replaced the 3.31's. Best thing I did besides adding the XCAL 2 programming. If you could get Ford Racing gears, I would go with them.

Good Luck.

Jeff

I'd run 4.56 with those tires.
I run 4.10s with street tires (285-60R18) in my Expy.

Well, I'd go with 4.88's, the 4.56's will get you back to stock but with the added weight of the tires the 4.88's will help out a lot more. Hope this helps.

im running 4.56's with 38's. put my old 35's back on and it seemed too low. I'd go with the 4.10's for 35's.
