You want 4.88's if it's a manual, 5.71 if it's an automatic and you drive it on the highway.

The install is more important than the brand of gears. Performance Offroad Center and Rusty's Ring & Pinion are good places to start. Also, check out Zuk's site: www.gearinstalls.com

Now would be the time to install lockers if you use the truck offroad as the install is identical to new gears - it keeps you from paying twice.

my dad owns a transmission/drive train shop so I get the install for free! I just wanted you guy opinion! Its a 22re with auto trany not to excited about the automatic! Yeah I will be driving on the highway alittle bit to get to the good hunting spot! So 5.71's are good for that?

5.29's would be better IMO. to keep decent highway speed/rpm

With an automatic, you'll still be undergeared in overdrive with 5.29.
