Well since your post doesn't say what tires but your sig says you have a 4.6 and tires are 35's I'd go with at least a 4.56. No such thing as a 4.27 gear for the 8.8 rear.

Your options are 4.10's, 4.30's, 4.56 and 4.88's. Don't forget if you have 4wd you have to do everything twice!

Do to front and back probably looking at $1000-1200. I looked into changing mine and he said back alone was 500.
