Going 4.56's. Offroad shop to be trusted?
So I'm going to 4.56's on my 2014 with a 6 inch and 35's. I ran 4.56's on my last truck with no problems so I figure too easy, right?
I was wanting to go with Yukons but the off road shop I am talking to tells me I shouldn't do Yukon's bc they are more of an off road gear and I may get some whine. They are saying to go with G2, Motive, USA ect. Also, they are unable to get Yukons from their supplier.
So the real question, do I just pick one and go or do I get yukons myself? Anybody have some advice on gear brand quality?

Always buy gears from your installer. There are multiple reasons for this, but the main one being if there is ever a problem the installer won't have any excuse to not fix it.
If you are stuck on Yukon gears, go find another installer, period.
I would trust the recommendation of the shop, assuming they are reputable and not some fly by night.

I can't speak to Yukon's having a whine but I have G2s and have no issues.

It's a small shop, but it's a small area so that is to be expected. The owner has a couple pretty nice wheeling jeeps and seems knowledgable but it's so hard to tell who is the real deal and who is blowing smoke.

It is tough some times. Plenty of shops will tell you "We don't recommend that brand because they are no good". When in reality the only reason they don't recommend it is because they get less profit than the other brand.
It never hurts to get second or third opinions, but if you are in a small town that may be easier said than done.

Availability can be tricky for this size right now. Should I even worry between G2 and Motive? I believe they can get both G2 and Motive at this point.
