So you did decide to regear to a deeper set of gears?

Yes, with 4.88's and 40" tires my rpm at 70 mph will be right at 3000 which is good for towing. Right now with 40" tires and 4.10's it is at 2500 or so, or do you all think that is alright for towing? (It is a 17' car hauler mostly towing truck parts and occasionally a car.

In regards to the front, I will have to completely rebuild the Dana 44 and when that time comes... Well you guys will all know LOL!

IF I do regear to 4.88's than if I get "thick" gears can't I use the current carrier in my truck now,and just get a locker that is designed for the 4.10 and down carrier?

This is a giant learning curve so Yea bear with me... The 2nd I'm going to go to the shop and take picturrs of the axle. I can say before I dropped it off, the passenger side brakes were Locked up and the driver side would spin either way...

The part that really confuses me is the carrier. Some say I need a new one, some don't...
