    Hi, I am wanting to re gear my dcsb 3rd gen but not sure it I should go with 4.88 or 5.29. I currently have 33's on the truck and do a good amount of highway driving. I will go to 35's eventually but the probably wont be until after college. So another 2-3 years.

    Ok ill take a look! and then I guess my next question would be what is the cheapest way to get it done? Like I said I am in college and 1.4K is a lot of money for the full nitro kit.

    Ok and this is probably a really dumb question but do I have to buy the full kit? or can is get by with just buying the ring and pinion and a new compression sleeve?

    Call them up, I’d say don’t worry about all new bearings. Total should be just under 1500 after Core Charges are refunded of course.
