if you become serious about the gears not working out for you then you could have your cake and eat it too:
Buy a gear vendors unit http://www.gearvendors.com/f2wd4s.html instead of a rear end swap and your truck would be a cut above the rest it would have the gear and the low rpm's ...
With the 4:30's you'll get a final drive of about 3:30s, the 4:88's will have a final drive of 3:80's.

Changed my order today before it was put into production. going with the 4.30s instead of the 4.88 and will use the difference for the tailgate step hopefully we will see it in 6 to 8 weeks? Original ordered date Jan 27th. Thanks for the help.

Driving home at 65 I was doing about 2400-2500 RPMs This has to be the first time in years I went the speed limit. The audio system actually sounds good and the navigation is great. Love having Sirius without something in the glove box.

Percy,

Did you get the Quad Captains or the rear bench and if the Quad Captains, how do you like them?

I got quad captains, I usually don't sit in the back, but I think they are nice.

What is the mpg on the moniter? I know it is new and will change but I am curious.
