    IF you havent read on my build thread, I went to Ms to meet tyler today and my rear end ( of truck) started whining. After me and tyler got done I went to autozone bought a regular bottle of gear oil and my chunk took all but 8 oz of it. It apparently was leaking bad. So Now it constantly has a noise, even with the oil in it. Not near as bad but it is there. I am worried I messed them up and will half to replace them. If that is the case My gf said she will help me and I will go ahead and do fronts and rears. My question is....

    What gears do I need to go to that will work good with my current tire size 35s and if/when in the future I go to 38s It will work well with those also. I have no Ideal how all that works so help me out guys.

    With the 38s in mind I would go with 4.56. They should turn them well.

    They will work with both. Running the 35s you may notice a boost in acceleration.

    I am almost sure you have a 8.8 31 spline in the rear and a 28 spline in the front. And Yukon are some great gears. I have also heard good things bout G2 gears. 4wheel parts and summit both sell them.
