ordered new gears
got tired of issues with hills and freeway speed so ordered some 4.88s for the 8,8 and dana 30 (SAS) in the truck how will it handle on 33"s plan is 35"s on 16x10s but not until the 33"s are bald
|
how much did the gears cost you? and will you be installing them yourself? if so how long and difficult is the install?
|
4.88s are usually fro 35s so the 33s are a little small. shouldn't have any issues though.

That's a pretty amazing deal there. I got quoted $1300 from one shop and $1600 from another to swap in 4.88's... w/o any kind of locker or anything.
Stupid question how do I fix the speedo? Old trucks it was a gear and up till 04 you could get a box from superlift but idk 05 and up I don't really wanna spend the money on a tuner... |
this thread has some good info on that.

thats alot of extra money for pain and suffring.

It is a PITA but 1500 to 1800 $$$ is about the market right now.
I will be having it done soon, too lazy and no special tools but if I get the Gears and install kits they will do it for $900. That figures in around the $1700 mark. |
