So it seems like better performance , while accelerating but it may get slow on the highway ? And better gas mileage with 37s

I regeared to 4.88 with 37s. It does fine on the highway, but it'll be slightly higher RPM. Not by much and you don't really notice it. It'll keep accelerating like a champ though. I'm sure you know 4.56 would match it back to stock ratio (4.10 with 35s), so if you're 90% freeway, you might as well go with that. I don't regret 4.88 though. And slower speed off roading it's like it's not even trying. Got an SCT tuner to help the motor out too, so don't slack on that part.

I'm not an expert on that sort of thing. I went through SDHQ, so ended up with Yukon. There was only a slight oddity with the install kit because my 2011 had a 2010 axle in it, so the guys who put it in had to find another kit for it. That wasn't anyone's fault, just didn't find out until they pulled it apart.

None that I could tell yet. I haven't really used 4wd much either. I've heard a bit of a whine, but I don't think I could narrow that down to the diffs. I thought it was the transmission or something. When I had them change the oil after the break in period, they took a look and said it all looked good. That was 10-12k miles ago.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm not subbed to this thread
