re-gearing for 35"s
Has anyone swapped out the 4:56's for anything? I'm strongly considering putting in 4:88's in order to make up for the larger and heavier 35"s. I'm thinking that the 4:88's will bring my rig back into the stock powerband and drivability. What do you all think? I don't think gears will be cheap, but I think it will be a good investment for a daily driver with 35" M/Ts.

You dont need to do it...
If you decide to go back to 33" or 32" tires or keep them in your rotation. Tires are easy to change. Gears are not.

Re: re-gearing for 35"s
I don't think I would want to go back to 33"s. I shouldn't need to, especially if with gears I can regain the stock powerband and drivability.
Are you saying I don't need to just for the reason of, if I went back to stock size tires or ?

Re: re-gearing for 35"s
Dont even think about re-gearing to 4.88s with aluminum front diff. Must have CI diff as 4.88s will make explosions easier to come by

Re: re-gearing for 35"s
I don't think I'm going to. I've decided that I'm going to run two sets of wheel/tires. The factory for traveling and some 35" M/T's for daily around town and wheel'n. I'm about to put 10,000 miles on my truck between June and December. So, I don't want to wear out my M/Ts.
