My review of 4.88s on a 2nd gen with 34s

If you didn't have any armor or anything extra would you still do 4.88s or would you go with 4.56s?

 

That depends on the use of truck no matter what your tire size. But I would probably say 4.56 for me personally with a 33 or 34.

 

Why thank you good sir. Yea I just hit 100k... so decided to give the girl a revive with how many more miles she’ll get (lots and lots more). Like you I’ve got the front and rear bumps plus some sliders and there may be a drifter ordered that will arrive... someday, but I forget I ordered it half the time and forget that will add some lbs.

 

I'm 2 wheel and only stay in the steets lol. I'll probably do 4.56s then thanks man. Also nice looking rig I've always been a fan of that color.

 

Rig looks awesome! Coastal offroad crew!

 

Whoop whoop!!!

 

My truck was 2wd until 212k miles, never to late to convert my friend!
My old s2000, I cant stay away from silver...

 

My old Honda was silver as well lol. I love the color.

 

4:30s would put you closer to stock gearing if you're on 33s

 

I'm on 34s (285/75R17) not sure if it's much of a difference weight wise from a 33 though since it's not any wider

 

Hey what sort of lights do you have on top of your cab? They look sick. Could you post a picture on how you mounted them?

 

Thanks, kc gravity pro6. I will send you a pic in a while.

 

Little update, I'm currently in the mountains of north carolina, and the gears definitely make for a nicer

 

Quick update: im in the mountains of North Carolina and the gears do amazing up here. Never shifts more than one gear to get up steep inclines. I cant even imagine being on 33s or bigger in hilly terrain on stock gears. Buy 4.88s.

 

Yup, welcome to my world...literally. I figure next spring I'll go with a re-gear and front locker.

 

I just put 4.88s in my truck running 33s, around town the truck runs good. However On the highway the RPMs are kinda high at 70 but it is really nice not having the truck hunting for gears all the time.

 

Anybody got an eyeball on MPGs with your 4.88s? Im on 33s with lots of weight and am curious.
