well being as you have an X, then 5.13s is the lowest you can go. So with that being said. 5.13s

Open the Drivetrain FAQ's stickied to the top of this modified area and plug some numbers into the charts.

There were several axle combos available in 07, so you actually need to go look at them, or send in your VIN for a new build sheet.

Most likely - D30 front / D44 rear
Less likely - D44 front / D44 rear
Sucks to be you - D30 front / D35 rear

Also find out which gears you currently have. If you have 3.21's, you will need a new front carrier. 3.73 or 4.10 you won't. (The build sheet will show the ratio also)

With a D30 front, 5.13's are as low as you can go. With an Auto, don't even consider any other ratio. And with 37's, seriously consider strengthening that front axle when the gears go in.

You will also want a ProCal/Flashpaq/whatever.

But my opinion on it - just order a PR44 with 5.38's and then regear the rear to match.
