Gearing

So I've decided I need gears, so thats going to be my christmas gift to myself... and I was thinking about going to 5.29 instead of 4.88, I have 33x12.5x15's and think my milage would be better with 5.29's then the 4.88's not to mention it's gonna make my truck into a turd rocket being over geared, so thats all fun and whatnot.. But I kinda planned on getting 5.29's and when my 33's wear out lift it two more inches and get 35x12.5x15's, eventually I'll probably grenade my front diff, but all the more reason to SAS... Anyway, I was just wondering which gearing I oughta get, oh and how much would my mph be off with 5.29 and 33's? Thanks guys

I'm all for it. I love my 5.29's and 33's. My truck is pretty zippy now. I keep up on the highway fine now, and I don't have to downshift for mild inclines anymore. The RPM's are high on the highway but it drives like it was meant to be that way. I can actually accelerate. Go for it. You won't be dissapointed.

How much is your speedometer off? And can you get 2nd gear scratch? When I had stock tires and 4.10's I could bark my tires goin into second, I'm just wondering how much extra torque I'm gonna get..
