4.56 gears going in next Wednesday

I have a 06 4.6L 4x4, 6" procomp, 35" BFG KM2's and am getting gears. Installing G2 4.56 gears and diff covers next wednesday. I am hoping it makes as much of a difference as everyone is stating. I currently have 3.55 so it should be a dramatic improvement, 6% higher over stock RPM's. After this no more money....I have already spent more than planned for a truck I only put about 1K a year on....

No more money I don't know how many times me and my friends have said that. My 6 inch lift is coming in tomorrow and I'm getting 4.56s next week too. I'm getting 35s too. Why do you only drive your truck 1,000 miles a year?

I have three other vehicles...When Gas went nuts I pretty much parked it. Now it is just a toy...I agree. I said that I would not spend anymore money when I bought the lift, then I bought the stage 2 coilovers a week later, last week pretty much. I then said that I would wait until next year to regear, bam, gears next week...I have a serious problem...

It's about to be an awesome truck. That's definitely not a problem. Playing with a big truck is a lot more fun than playing with money anyway, so you can justify it to yourself by saying it's better than money

Hell I wish that was all I could put on my truck in a year. Keep a modded out low miled truck, hell yeah worth some big bucks if you want a newer one later, save money by not daily driving it too like I must do with mine.
