I'm looking to re-gear and wanted some direct opinions for my setup. First of all the truck is a 97' Std cab 3.4 V-6 5spd with E-locker (4.10's)..I run BFG 33x10.50x15 M/T's and do not plan to go larger..I do not drive the truck daily, but when I do drive it it's on the highway to the wheelin' place of choice..The majority of the wheeling I do is rocky, slow and technical. I'm leaning torwards 4.88's but don't want to have a real highway issue..I can't afford the transfer case direction or that would be the way I'd go..Just looking for more input..Thanks in advance..

If its not your daily driver then go for the 4.88's, that will give you some awesome offroad driving. I just got 4.56s for the exact same setup you have, but I drive the truck every day and I couldnt take the high RPMs on the highway with 4.88s. Thats just my opinion though
