I watched a guy munch a transfer case with 5.13s in the rear and 3.73s up front. Wasn't pretty when he tried a 4wd burnout on some 38" boggers.... On pavement.

If I do them I will just suck it up and do it right. I use the 4x4 alot scouting for deer season and will use it alot during the season. I am thinking of putting on some Nitto Terra Grapplers 295/70/17 at 33" tall and going with 4.56's. What gears and install kit do you all recommend?

Ive ran with Genuine G2s in the rear and regular Genuines up front. I have 100k on them and they are still dead silent and Ive had them off road a lot.
