Even though It was meant as a comlete joke directed toward you..... I'll rephrase.
Ahem.. If I had 38" tires, I'd rather have 4.88 gears at least. That would make me happy. I would most likely have 5.13's though because that would give me the grunt i wanted down low because I already have 38" tires and I obvisually don't give a crap about gas milage.

Go with the 4.88's! That is what I have on my truck. I do a split amount of highway and city. I drive home about once a month and it is 180 miles and I speed. In order to prevent any legal issues or ethical/reckless problems I won't give any numbers. But I get about 13-15 on the highway. I also have the 4.6...just throwing that out there. I have no problem speeding or holding it there for an couple hours. If your mileage conscious, which I doubt you are, for obvious reasons, I would go with 4.56. If you want the best bang for buck and lots of low end power 4.88's are for you.

I'm looking at 4.56's locally, most quotes in my area are in the $1600+ range with either Ford Racing or Precision gearsets. I've got a buddy at local dealer checking shops they sub to maybe to find a better price, but I don't think it will be that much better, honestly. Big labor hit on the front end, apparently.
