How much cheaper is it to regear and 2wd than 4wd?

When y'all that have 35s bought the tires, did y'all buy an extra for the spare or what?

I would say it would be about half the price.... LOL

Haha i was thinking that but wanted to make sure! What would u say for 4.56 as an estimate?

I have a full size spare mounted in the back of my truck I can't fit it under without makeing mods. X fingers that I will never need it lol but I recomend for anyone with larger wheels lot of places will throw in the 5th tire free. At least the local tire shop I deal with usualy does.

You will love your 4.56s

save a little cash buying the gears yourslf and Taking them to the shop iNstead of them buying, unless they don't markup, that is what I did with my mustang gears

Ill get them eventually if they arent too expensive (4.56s), and Im kinda limited to the toyo open countrys cause i need a tire thatll fit stock wheels and a 9" wheel. I looked and toyo makes some 35s that fit that range. I dont really know if anyone on north alabama deals with toyo. Any online places throw a 5th in free?

Which gear shouldn't make a difference in price (4.10 vs 4.56 vs 4.88 etc) but should be cheaper also just because the rear end is so much easier to work on

I split the difference with 4.11's and 4.56's and went with 4.30's. With 33's I get good take off and passing power yet the engine only sits around 2300 rpm's at 65-70 mph. If you are getting 35's though 4.56's would be a better choice. One thing though the rearend shop said the 4.30 pinion gear is stronger then the 4.56 or 4.88 gear do to having a larger diameter. Not sure how true this is

They are stronger because they have more surface area touching each other. Generally the higher (4.56+) gears are made of a stronger metal though.
