Tag on the rear diff said 3.54. I would have preferred the 4.11s but they can always be swapped out later. I was a bit nervous yes. My truck is showing its use. Hard to believe its been a few years now since it was painted and I have at least 3 small chips from rocks, a couple scrapes, and some minor scratches. I will be getting some touch up work done to it at some point, but it's not gonna keep me from using it like its supposed to be used.

Another thing I will be looking for over the next few months is some 8 lug 17x9 wheels. Steel ones are fine. Maybe even some oem aluminum wheels that can be cleaned up and coated or painted. Nothing too fancy.
