Default new balls/gears

I finally got my gears and nitro sleves and gussets all done. I was worried half to death after reading all the different opinions. I chose 4.88's running 35 on an 07 4 door 6 speed. I live in Indiana a lot of flat land and it is a perfect set up. I drove 30 miles home 60mph at 2300 rpm. I am very pleased. I won't even talk about mpg. because everyone will say bs, but it was much better. I reset everything and had a tail wind. I drove about 5 miles in town the rest on a state highway.

Dave at Nortbridge spot on again, he is a rockstar when it comes to re-gearing.
