4.10's would be the cheapest....look into 4.88's

With an AW4 trans and 33's 4.56 gears is probably the way to go.

haha yep 4.88's are the best

If you're only running 33"s I'd go with 4.56s. You don't need 4.88s on a dual purpose, sometimes tow vehicle. JMO

4.56s are near perfect for 33" tires, IMHO. If you plan on going bigger than a 33", then you may want to look at 4.88s, but I wouldn't bother with the 4.10s, they would be a bit high for any towing duty to speak of on 33s. Good luck, keep us posted on your decision.

4.56 will be my gear of choice when I get ready to install the D44 in the garage.

4.56 would be best

if you buy an install kit with them can you do it yourself with out screwing them up and tearing up your axle half way down the road?

COSXJFAN

What about the rest of the tools that it requires to properly set up a rear end?

thats what i wanna know. so what is the normal price for buying new ring and pinion sets and having them installed for front and rear?

COSXJFAN

No, you have to have the proper tools. A set up kit is just the bearings, seals and crush sleeve.

BTW, Nomiation rectracted, and now nominating...MYSELF!!

aight thats what i was asking, and how much would all that usually run me?

COSXJFAN

It depends, a place like 4WP would be A LOT, but you can ask around, I have found a couple folks that will do it for around $200.00-$300.00 per axle. I can't remember what 4WP quoted, but I remember it was steep!!
