will you be using toyota axles? 5.29's are your only option for toyotas, 5.13's aren't available.

And if you're using Dana axles, 5.29's aren't available, closest is 5.38.

Also - what transmission do you have? If it's an auto, you're gonna need AT LEAST 5.71's if you want to hold the overdrive on anything remotely uphill or into the wind...

I would reccommend against 5.71s. Not the strongest gear out there.

BS - it is no weaker than 5.29's which everyone says are OK. Both have 7 tooth pinions. If you want to be stronger, you have to stay with 4.88's or higher.

Some would even argue that 5.71's are STRONGER...

Relax.
I thought they had less teeth on the pinion. So much mis-information floating around a guy gets confused.

Exactly - that's why I wanted to clearly dispel the misinformation.
