Yea, that is what helped me realize that it is under geared stock. I saw that 5.13s were the best bet for me. The overpriced shop suggested 4.88s. Thank god for this forum!!

See, that is what i was looking for. Haha... I think i might suffer through 35's for a few months so i can have the rear bumper and front lower adjustable control arms to adjust my caster angle. I'll tune my superchip for the tow mode and drive easy. On the bright side, if i wait, i'll appreciate the gears more. Haha..

Turn OD Off and you can live with it for a while.

To get an idea, find your new OD On rpm's in the gearing chart in the faq's, then /.69

It's pretty flat around here. I'll turn OD off on the bridges and deal with the rest. I'd jump on the $1100 price like stank on shit man!!!
