    Will 4:88's fit to the factory Carrier (Front and Back)? Trying to get my list together on what to order.

    Also need master install kits for them as well. Unless you're going to reuse the old bearings

    I need to pull up my vehicle build sheet to verify my carrier. Where's the vin # directory to do so?

    Yup, like I said, 4.88 on 35s is over kill for that setup

    It's a V6 Sport 4WD / 4.0L. Vin tag on door just reference to the tires and vin number. Still checking on Trans / Ratio.

    Is there a public website that I can look up more detail specs? All I have is a simple site that gives me the basic external specs.

    Maybe 4.56 is a better choice. I dropped 5mi. on my odometer. Would like to get it back.

    4.56 will get close. 4.88 are dead on at low speeds. 30 and under. 40 to 50 mph it's about 3 mph faster than what the needles says it is. 50 plus goes up to 5mph faster than what the needles says
