I know it has been discussed. And from reading what I have, I am still undecided. If you look as to how long I have been around, I am not exactly a noob here. Dont assume everyone is a noob and tell them to search just becuase you dont know the answer to the question.
4.56 or 4.88?
Here is my predicament...I hoped to have 33s by now. My goodyear wrangler mtrs have lasted me 45,000 miles and still have half the tread left. They are 32s. I need gears but not sure whcih ones. I dont want to buy new tires until these are worn. I do alot of highway driving and with gas prices these days, I dont want to suffer a huge decrease in that department. What are some of your suggestions and reasons for those suggestions?

Well it would be a mix of both. I try to wheel as much as I can, but I drive about 2000+ miles a month also. See why I am undecided. I know it is hard to get a good mix between wheeling and driving but I guess that I what I am trying to do.dragr1 said:If you're definitely going with 33's and do a good bit of offroading then 4.88's, with mostly highway then 4.56's.
You are talking about parksoffroad.com. I believe he went with 4.88s with 33s. Not sure about that. I would have to check. His speedo was also way off.TWIN said:I once saw a few pics of someone's truck after he put on a set of 33 mtrs and 4.56 gears. In his writeup he showed before and after pics of stock and then 33s and gears. The RPM was about 100-200 over what it was stock. That's the way I would go with 33s because I do a hell of a lot of driving like you.
