Diff question



Hey,



Recently grenaded my 4.56 rear 3rd, and was having a hell of a time finding a replacement. Managed to pick up a front and rear 4.88, but no cash right now to get 33" tires. How many people have run 4.88 diffs with stock size (31") tires, and how is the experience?



Cheers

Put the 4.88s in over the weekend. Not too bad for getting around and should be great on steep trails, but highway driving seems more stressful at sky high rpm. Can't wait for some extra work over the summer and 33's.
