Might as well go 4.88. More power and mileage isnt reallly gonna be different. The slower crawl speed is good also.

4.88s and 31's is going to be nuts. You need to move up to 33's now.

I can't wait to get bigger tires! Looking to get 33s or 35s. After that I can be a part of the 33s or larger thread :-)

4.88 gears are a bit weaker than 4.56s is why i stuck with 4.56s on mine
and yeah.... your going to hate driving that thing with 4.88 and 31s

Small pinion on the 4.88, I guess the ring teeth are smaller too.

If you're going to regears a d30, get an hp30 and regear it, although i would assume its too late, being that you already ordered the gears
