+1 for the OEM gears and the 4.10's. I did the 3.42 to 3.73 and dropped tire size to a 30.5" and still wish I had done the 4.10's!

You fellas have convinced me to go with 4.10 gears. What kind of gas mileage am I lookin at with my set up w/ 4.10s, I plan on getting 305/40/22. Does anyone have this set up?

That puts you in a 31.7" diameter combo. See http://www.4lo.com/calc/geartable.htm

anywhere from $175-250. Do not skimp out on this part. If this isnt done right the first time it will cost you a lot of money down the road. Only let somebody do it you trust and preferably know.
