 Gears I am planning on regearing my truck and getting a better locker, etc. Anyone have a good resource for these parts. I have been talking to Randy's R&P. Didn't know if anyone had a "hook up" in this area or not.

Re: Gears From everything I've heard Randy's Ring and Pinion is the place to buy from. Stan at Maywood is who I would use to install them based off opinions on here. He quoted me 350 an axle to do mine for the 14bolt and Dana 60...didn't make it that far though

For your 35's? 4.88 for sure dude...If you're worried about mileage i'd even go to 4.56...If you plan on throwing bigger meats on there, then definitely go 5.13... How often do you drive it? I'd consider the 4.88's if you aren't doing a lot of highway running...

Re: Gears I am considering going to 36" tires and I only put about 100-150 miles a week on it. Only gets highway driving 1 day/week that is only a 60 mile round trip. Truck sits ALOT in the summer too.  I am leaning towards the 4.88's.

I am leaning towards the 4.88's. 4.88's it is bro...Those would work up to about a 37" tire too, in case you wanted to go a little bigger...I was going to run the 4.88's with 38's on mine...Any bigger than that and it'd have to be 5.13's...
