    I am thinking about re-gearing now that I added 295/70/17s to my truck. What gears can you guys recommend? And does anyone know of any good shops to do the work in the so cal area? Thanks

    too many to list
    I plan on running the same size tire when i change mine out and plan to run 4.56 gears. I have used 4.88 with 33's (should be same height as 295/70/17) on an older toyota pickup and was just a little to low for me for a daily driver but great off road. I also had dual cases though so its a little hard to compare

    4.56 for a DD, 4.88 if you have something else to drive everyday

    Jason (Speed Freek) in Vista would give you a great price, or yotamaster
    got mine done at SoCal Super Trucks .. kind of a rip off IMO

    Did you notice an improvement after you installed them? I shot an email off to the guys at yotamasters and well see what they say.

    Yeah, it was definitely a big improvement.

    It was really hard to resist the skinny pedal while I was breaking the gears in, but once thats done the fun begins :D
