am i missing anything important?

I am basically looking for the least expensive, and easiest way to get about 6" lift and 35's and still be HD enough to handle the 35's and be a DD and weekend wheeler.

488 gears
other than that looks good

[rckrdyxj]

? not 4:56's wil it be slow on hwy wiht 4:88's?

[HeavyMetal]

i cant imagine 4.88s becoming an issue for DDing

though i will vouch that 4.56s on 35s on the aw4 is fine as well. thats what ill be running

[rckrdyxj]

Now what if i get to do a manual swap next year is it worth it to regear now or wait till then and regear to somethign better for a 5 or 6 speed?

[spanky]

meaning might as well do the 488 got the extra gear. i think its worth it do it once

[rckrdyxj]

deffinitly, but will that still be good if i can afford to do my 6 speed swap in a year or so? i dotn know what a good gear ratio is for a manual tranny and 35's.

[rckrdyxj]

my friend has 4:88s on an s10 wiht 35's and he says he cannot go above 60 on the hwy.

[HeavyMetal]

i would do the 4.88s if i were you just cuz, itll just have more balls when it comes down to it

jeff and corey and dan all have 4.88s in their rigs, and justin will soon. all of them drive fine on the highway and can still haul ass

s10s suck lol

[spanky]

i have 488s with a nv4550 on 37s and its great .. my crawl is still really good ... only gonigto get better with a 4-1 though
