I'm not the kind to hammer my truck, I've maybe floored mine once, with it completely stock, it rarely gets over 2500 rpms

I have 3.55's still as well. I don't hammer on it either and so far I've had no issues. The SCT with a performance tune really helped out. Someday I'll get 4.10's.

From listening to all the reviews from the guys who HAVE regeared, they say its a no brainer to get it done. You never really realize how much power you lost until you get it all back with gears. I should have mine in by january if all things go as planned.
