    Ah I guess I should have clarified..I know I'm on 3.73's as well. What ratio did you end up going with? I'm looking at ECGS at the moment. (For re-gear and lockers)

    And you're a 5speed auto? See, I'm on 34s with the auto trans and also had the 3.73s in the stock rear diff. I felt like the truck was a PIG even just with those tires on. I can't imagine it with 35s and stock gearing! But I agree though, now with 4.56 gears it's night and day. Truck stays in 5th on the highway and has passing power again.

    Yes, I am running a 5-speed auto. Did you have additional weight on the truck besides the larger tires?

    No. Not until this week (getting sliders and a bed rack). Truck was basically stock weight for the most part.

    I'm looking at 4.30s and 255/85/16. What RPM are you seeing at 65mph and are you an auto or manual?

    *edit, not sure why the rest of my post got cut off @ssmith0480

    No shit....that's bad ass! That wasn't available like 2 months ago or I'd have gotten it! I'm still very happy with my 4.56 choice but I think 4.30 would be even better. That sounds like the sweet spot for guys who don't have an extra thousand pounds of bumpers and such.

    Oh wow. Sorry I was so late seeing this. Do you still need the numbers? I’m auto. It’s a sweet ratio for mine being a DD. I also tow a 6000 lb travel trailer a few times a year, does fine. I will check the Rpm’s at a few speeds and get back to you.

    Yeah that was my line of thinking. I plan on an aluminum bumper and some steel sliders later but I don’t think it’ll matter much. I carry about 200 lb of sandbags in the bed to soften the Dakars up a little so I’ll take some out after the armor goes on.
