Got my gears put in.

yeah, I just put those tires on not long ago so it would be hard to justify bigger shoes to the wife. Anyway, I don't want to make it higher unless I do the Solid Axle, but that's looking doubtful. 5.29's might be pretty low, but I like to have the ability to go to 35's in the slightly more distant future.

Alright, I installed 4.56 gears and filled up the diff with 80W140 gear oil- that heavy stuff. The locker is a noticeably quieter and smoother. You still aren't going to forget its there, but its just not so in-your-face.
I just regeared, I have 31" tires. You can feel the gearing difference, hills where I would have been struggling to stay in third, I accelerate (slowly). Alas, you're not going to be fooled into thinking there's a V8 under the hood though. I think it would be fun to have 4.88s.
