fwiw, since we're driving slightly different rigs... i've got 4.56 and (as of this writing) 31s on my '95 pu, and can easily chirp the tires. i haven't timed a quarter-mile or 0-60, but it still gets up and walks the dog.

5.88s? thats insane..... with 31" tires you would not be able to over 50 mph without redlining the engine!

Yeah, 5.88's are insane since you can't get them for a Toyota axle.
