Default A few quick gear questions

I've currently got stock gears with 32s, and am wanting to regear, my next set of tires will probably be 33s, but that wont be for a few years, and i doubt i will ever go bigger than 33s and still have stock axles (8.25/30).

My first question is should i go 4.10s or 4.56s? This is my DD, and is taken out to trails 3-4 times a month.

My second question is where can I find a good deal on gears? Rustys has a special on the 8.25/30 combo for like $430 with all the master kits, but i dont know if their gears are any good.

do you have a manual or a auto? with an auto go 4.56's with a manual go 4.10's. or you can go 4.56's with a man. but your highway rpms will be a bit up there.

I have rustys gears, they give you motive or Superior gears both are very good. I got the exact same kit as you looking at. i also got a aussie locker at the same time for the rear. The only issue you prolly will have is there CS sucks!
