I need 4.56 gear info

Im wanting to go from 3.73 to 4.56; planning on running 35's in the near future. looking for someone to school me in what i all need for the swap. I have the base model 2009 if that helps or changes anything. Thanks for any help in advance.

 

Well, im not 2nd gen but I run stock 4:56 with a lunchbox locker and I can tell you if you have an auto...it wont be enough. No way, no how.

 

4.56 with 35's in a second gen auto works perfectly. Check East Coast Gear Supply. They have everything you need.

 

I'm also on 35s and 4.56 gears. Some will say 4.88s are better. Using an online gear calculator, 4.56 is still slightly over geared for 35s. My truck is not a dedicated trail rig and found 4.56s works good both on and offroad. While you're doing gears, it would be a good time to decide whether you want to add lockers.

 

Thanks ill check them out. hows the wheelin out in hunterville im from the asheville area?

 

I wont be taking it offroad anymore im going from 6inch lift to 12 and plan on powdercoating the new kit. So id say 4.56 should be a solid set up.

 

There's no wheelin' in Huntersville

We go to Uwharrie in Troy, Gulches in SC, and Windrock in TN.

 

Love my 4.56 with the auto and 35s

 

Different drive train

 

How do you plan to get that much lift?

 

I'm gonna also suggest think about if you ever plan on going up in tire sizes again
37s or taller...

 

Anything is possible.....

your exactly right. ive been wanting to go 12inches for awhile and then this finally came out. id rather get a first gen and make it a trail rig and have this as a street rig.

 

So if you go with 12 why keep 35s?

 

i wont go over 35's with this set up. some might think its a stupid style but i want to go with the cali style look. All lift with smallish tires.

 

Got wheels and tires picked out?

 

im most likely going with american racing rims 22x12; not sure which rim exactly and i already have 1.25 spacers all the way around and i can get federal tires for a grand. i know a few guys in cali that own shops and can get everything at base price.

 

Can't wait to see pics, anything you wanna know about the 456?

 

where did you pick up your gears. east coast gear supply has em for 1195.00; seems a bit steep.

 

I got mine from ecgs when they had a group buy.

They may still be having a group buy I know they had one here recently.

Is there anything you wanna know about the 456?
