I’ve searched just about everything on regearing these trucks, going 4.56 or 4.88. I’m currently running 37”s but they’re the small KO2 35.6 inch 37s. I plan on going to a tire size closer to true 37 or maybe eventually 38s(37.5ish)
Technically 4.56 would be fine with 37s and would only be a very few RPMs out of range for 38s, no where as bad as it currently is with the 4.10s now.
I’ve read just about every review, unfortunately no one seems to have experienced both sets. Everyone that gets 4.56s seem to be happy but wish they went to 4.88s, but I never seen any word of issues with the 4.56.
Everyone that goes 4.88s are very happy, even those still running stock size tires, but I also hear of some with 4.88s blowing them up due to the smaller size of the gears. I also heard one poster state that their transmission shifted more often above 75MPH, this makes no sense half of the purpose of the gearset is to get rid of the unnecessary shifts and transmission strain? I am lost on what that could be?
I’ve planned this for a long time and always assumed I would go 4.88s without a second thought, but now that I’m actually getting money together towards it, I’m having second thoughts.
Will 4.88s be okay on the highway? I like to drive 80MPH but I don’t want to be running 2,800 RPM to do it.
Will I destroy 4.88s?
Will RPMs be too high for daily driving?
