Currently my truck has 31x10.50's and 4.10 gears. It has a 5 speed with the 22re. I am thinking of putting some diffs with 5.29's in it and running 33x10.50's. My main use of the truck is a DD. I drive about 30 -40 miles a day to school, which includes quite a few hills. I take the truck hunting whenever I go, but don't really get into any serious offroading. The truck rarely sees the highway. My main concern is that the 5.29's will be too much for the 33's. I have never driven a yota with this setup so I don't know what it will be like. 4.88's are a option, but I plan on buying the 5.29 diffs this weekend.

I know it's been asked, covered, and buried in the ground.

I searched and read some opinions on it.

I am asking again to get some new view points about it. Thanks!

 

If your getting a good deal in the 5.29's go for it. I ran 33's with 4.10's, then went to 4.88's an it was way better. On the highway on large hills I could have used the 5.29's for sure. If its not a highway rig and there lots of hills that you drive, you'll love the 5.29's

 

I've had both 5.29s and 4.88s w/ 33s and find both gears work fine. 4.88s are a little more pleasant for long highway trips, especially at speeds over 65 MPH. 5.29s give a little better fuel economy and a bit more pep up the hills (less downshifting).

 

Get the 5.29s, you'll love them.
