    So 4:88s are recommended for 35s? I think I just want to stick to 33s so I would need 4:56 correct? Getting 14-15 mpgs is starting to suck.

    That must be an Auto thing, I get 17-18 most of the time with 33's on stock gearing. Hopefully one day when money tree starts growing again I can bump to 35's and re gear.

    Had to sell the wallet too so I could fund it.
    ECGS said the 4.88 because 35's and the winch, bumpers, swing out, skids, sliders and toolbox full of other parts at all times so I choose that.

    You can call me Susan if it makes you happy.
    I've got 4.56's and 315's. It feels over geared to me honesty but pretty close to stock. It was day and night difference going from stock gears to 4.56's, my mpgs actually went down getting 4.56's though. On stock gears I was getting 16 or 17 if I drove like a grandpa, I drive the same way now and get 14-15. Also remember that your speedo will be off still. With 315's it's off by almost exactly 5 mph. I normally set my cruise at 61 so in reality I'm doing 66.

    Overall if you're planning on keeping the truck and wheeling it for a long time I would regear, your transmission will thank you and it's way better on the trails too.
