4,56 vs, 4.88
im in the works to be lifting the danger ranger next spring and am probably going to be doing a gear swap first.what difference in installation is there with putting in 4.56 to 4.88s. ive heard of clearance issues and shimming problems but i cant remember if it was about rangers or fullsize.by the way i have 7.5,3.73s,2wd,5spd.any info appreciated,thanks ahead

31s-35s.im into wheel well space and ill probably buy whatever i can find a deal on.the 4.88s would explain why i cant find em on ebay.4.56s it is.its all up in the air for now.i hate the 3.73s now, so anything is an improvement. 4.56? gear swap first then maybe a 3"or 5.5"spindle lift,then tires. if for some reason i dont lift it at least ill have some better gears.

dont buy gears off ebay....you DO NOT want cheap chinese made junk.

What are you plans for the truck? 33's and 4.56's on a 4cyl should be about just right.
I suggest finding a junkyard 8.8" w/ 4.10s, and go from there. I don't think i've seen 4.88's for a 7.5".
