Default Will 4.56 run in a D30 and D44?

I want to install 4.56 gearing b/c I'm running close to 35's. Regardless, I have a couple questions....

1.) Will 4.56 fit and run alright in a front D30 and a rear D44?

2.) Should I get Superior?

Thanks!

HAHAHA! I just got your message WOL.

Thank you for the help. Superior it is.

With 4.56 and running close to 35's, what should expect? -- more torque and less MPG, or roughly factory MPG, bad torque but good MPG?

honestly, i personally would recommend getting 4.88's if you're going to be running a 35" tire or close to it. that will give you close to factory performance. also, other makes you can check out are randy's ring and pinion, yukon and genuine.

I have 5.13s spinning my 35s. The original plan was chopped fenders and 37s, but I love the extra power. They should come this way.

honestly, that really was my favorite setup. 5.13's and 35's and a 6-speed was oh so much fun!!

You will need a new carrier for the 30, but beyond that, your golden. IMHO 4.56 is probably a little big for 35's, you might want to think about 4.88's or even 5.13's.
