youre good, 1,000 miles isnt anything.
i decided to go with yukon gears for my truck and so have many others here. they just have a great reputation for being quality gears.
do you ever take your truck offroading? now would be a good time to add a locker if you do.

I don't really do any off roading. If I go off road, it's driving off the main road to a dirt road leading to a camp site or something. But I don't wheel it or anything like that.
I had a question about gears too. I lifted my truck 8" last month and have 37" tires on now. The stock setup is the 3.73's and the guy at the shop said I should go 4.88 gears and it's about $1,500 total. Does that sound right? I know nothing about gears, etc, so I'd just be taking his word for it.
I don't really tow anything at the moment, but it is kind of sluggish now with the lift and bigger tires.
Can anybody make a recommendation?

I'm assuming your truck is 4x4. If it is then that's as good of price as you can find and 4.88 is a good ratio. Maybe 4.56 if you do mostly highway driving and not heavy towing frequently. If you're 2wd then $1,500 is too much just to regear the back axle. My truck is 4x4 and I paid a little over $1,600 to regear it
