Yeah, I would start investigating those upgrades. I thought that surely my axle u-joints, driveshaft (or u-joints) or rear axle would fail before both bearing caps broke off my 9" carrier and about 5 teeth broke off the ring gear! (See Tellico report for an update.)

But you're smart and carry all the spares so run it till you break it then upgrade.

Why stay away from 4.56
Well several people on this forum and several friends said I would not like them. They are way too low for any highway driving.
I dont know I will have to wait untill my 4.10 s are installed

There is nothing wrong with 4.56 gears. They may have not been a good choice with his combination. I have 5.13s and can run fine on the highway. But thats my combination. Just wanted to clarify because I could see somebody looking at this thread and thinking there was something magically inherently wrong with 4.56 gearing
