Headed to East Coast Gear Supply tomorrow morning to have my Nitro 4.56s installed. And no, I did not prepay a dime this time.

I did. Love them! Feels so much torquier. At first I was regretting not going with 4.88s but at 65mph I'm at 2,000 rpm with 35" tires so it's just about right. Most of the speed limits here are 55 - 65 anyway so it works out good. If I was back in Texas where everything is 75 - 80 and people go 85 - 90, 4.56s would probably be a tad too low.

With 4.56 gears it will pass everything on the road but a gas station!

Can you post a P/N for that kit you got. I think I am going to go with the same set up. Did they say anything to you about the pinion bearing being different in the 2011 and up? I have been reading about that and seems like some place don't have kits for 2011 and up. Do you have a P/N for 4.88's? Next year I will be going to 37 and need to regear.

Note: Apparently the kit was missing a seal and nut, see my receipt below. Luckily they did not charge me for it.
