I have 33'' tires and want a bit more power while towing, especially in the mountains here. There's a 7% grade hill that I can currently make it up with our ~4k lb camper, but I have to floor it at around 50mph in 2nd gear, and it slowly loses RPMs as I approach the top. I think the 4.88s will fix this, plus the 200k diffs need to be gone through, I'd imagine. This should also bring me back within 2% accuracy on my speedometer, from what I was reading earlier here. My tires are ~9% larger circumference than stock, and these gears will adjust back down ~7.3% iirc.
So, what brand should I go with? JustDifferentials has this kit, but I'm not sure if it matters that the gears are made in Korea.
I'm thinking about having LTS motors do the regear, though that will cost me about $1600 in labor. To me this seems acceptable because I've never split a pumpkin and likely don't even have the right tools to get the job done, and I want to make sure it gets done right.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Brands to look at?
