Do either of you get a lot of 'wheel hop' ? I don't think I have anywhere near the horsepower to the wheels to hop or tourque the rear. Maybe you guys have more power?

Running 35" tires. I plan to change out my front and rear gears to 4.56 and add the traction bars to handle the torque in the rear. The Superchip Performance tuner adds plent of power to the 5.4L where I can spin my tires.

I already have the hypertech tuner and i am also looking at changing out the front and rears to 4.56 precision gears, and thats why im getting the traction bars, the looks are also a plus, i dont get any wheel hop at all, but i also have the rear mx-6 reservoir shocks and front coil over setup.

Hey BLKFRDF1504X4LAR2004

did you get any price qoutes for the gear install yet?
i went to 4 wheel parts today and they hit me up for $1400 for parts and labor. so im looking around for some better prices, please share them with me if you have any, it will save me the time of driving around. FYI they did have a good price on the procomp skid plate only $172.99 plus tax. but they wanted $393.98 plus tax for the traction bar and install kit.
Let me know...

Thanks

I am going to change gears out to 4.56 as well and add the traction bars.

I have 37x13.50R18's and should probably go to 4.88's but a 4x4 shop should NOPE just 4.56's. Going to cost me roughly $400.00 for the gears and $400.00 labor!

Then a Tuner and Intake are next in line!

Hey 2004 Screw

What Brand Gears Did You Get Installed On Your Truck? Did You Keep Your Stock Lockers? Can You Give Me Specifics On You Gear Change Setup? I Like To Know Before I Give Ramjet A Call, The Drive Is Worth It To Save Some Big Bucks, Also How Long Did The Install Take???

Thanks

Cesar

Don't recall but they guaranteed me no gear noise. Also, the mechanic has been doing ring and pinions since 1967 so i figured he knew a thing our two and i think 4 hours maybe 4 1/2
