im swapping for some 4.11 gears for 32" tires. i need the revs for a v6. you might be happier with a new carrier and 4.56 or 4.88 gears.

Are you trying to build a sport truck made for speed? Are you 4x4 or 4x2?
Is this a daily driver?

If you want something to lay down some serious rubber then 4.56's might be for you. If you are only a 4x2 there is also 4.30's that you could consider. I installed 4.10's in my truck but I am running 35's. I can lay down about 5' of rubber from take off. Dont forget you will need to get a programmer if you dont already have one so you can reprogram your truck for the new gears.

If it were me I would go with 4.10's if it is a 4x4 or maybe 4.30's if it is 4x2.
It just all depends on how you want to set up your truck.
