Yes...the stock gears on an 03-07 are 4.10s.

As far as what you can do with the stock ones once they're pulled...dunno. I would assume they could be reused in another GM truck, but I don't know about a car. I'll let someone else chime in on that...

I already had 4.56 w/ stock wheels and the truck was pretty damn snappy. When I jumped up to 37" tires it really felt like a pig to me. I wanted to get back that snappyness and have some room to grow incase I change up to 40" tires so I swapped out to 5.13.

Its not like you cant drive on the highway w/ 5.13 gears...your only talking about a few hundred rpm difference.

This gear calc will give you side by side comparison between two sets-

IMO 4.88's is at minimim the way to go. One of the best upgrades I've done by far. Add an Eaton E-locker up front while your diffs are open and make sure the shop wires it so the front only engages when the rear is locked for piece of mind.
