[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 435732, member: 18789"] You'll definitely feel it. I would do the borrow thing before buying. You may find it bearable, There are plenty out there on 4.88's who choose it as their regear ratio from 4.10 specifically for 4.88. Most of that though stems from the age old reason which was that for the longest time, 4.88 was the lowest you could go. So it was the "right" ratio for 33+ and everybody adjusted the other tires like 31's down to 4.56, etc. 33 and 4.88 will be similar to 31 and 4.56. So probably better than the sucky 31 & 4.10. the borrow method will tell you if you can tolerate it or not. I would expect to drop about 200 rpm on the highway from what you're doing now. [/QUOTE]
