    I spent in the $300 range for complete 4.88's, close to $700 installed with a billet yoke.

    you need a new carrier if you have 4.10's... if you have 4.56's the 4.88's will install fine... that's the big cost difference for the '04 guys...

    Anyone in Colorado have 4.88's in a RC? I would be interested in going for a ride...

    Jack, how did the 4.88's affect traction on the street?

    You are wrong ****less. 4.10 and 4.56 are the same 4.88 requires a new carrier.

    No. They fixed it so you can call anyone that except Dan. Watch, I'll show you: Dan = ****less. See, doesn't work. :D

    I think 4.88 is too much gear IMO! 4.56 and my stock 31" 22's run outta gear at the top of the 1/4! I'm redlining in 4th!! They are perfect with my 32" slicks but on the street I can roast thru 3rd easy if I want . What that does is kill my launches (dig) runs in Mexico on street tires, yet from 30 I KEEL You!!
    Lmao. Save money and put 4.56 ring and pinion and call it a day bros and ho's.:chain:

    I would hate this. As I drove my truck with 4.10 and brothers with 4.56. I still like the 4.10. The 4.56 to me runs through the rpms to quickly. I can't imagine 4.88 like a tire rating joke just my 2 cents
