Been chasing a periodic vibration for over a month now. Steering wheel doesn't vibrate, it's been aligned and drives straight, no squeaks, rattles, knocks, nothing. Happens at a variety of speeds, not just the tire resonance speeds (40-55mph). 2021 with 51k miles ICON Stage 7 35" tires...

Called and talked to Hefty Fabworks (thank you for the recommendation BTW), and he recommended 4.88 first, and that even a SC with 4.88 at elevation would allow you to be happy in 5th gear and not lug it down. So thank you for the recommendation! will be going with them

Did not mean to sound like you did it wrong or didn't know what you were talking about. I guess i meant to say, as you mentioned, that per all the charts/suggestions that i would assume that the 4.56 with the smaller tire size would make more sense, then adding power to help with the trailer...

Stock gears at 34" tires, we are lucky to see 12mpg lol on long trips with the RTT its like 16mpg if we are trying really hard. 4.88 will do fine!

OHH well the trailer i am looking at has electric trailer brakes and a wireless adapter, but you are correct - I plan on upgrading to stop Tech when i get the chance and before the trailer

Only thing i see here is you geared way too high for your tire size, 4.88 are not recommended for anything less than a 35" tire. Even a 34" tire will require you to spin them too fast. in your situation on 33's i would have 100% gone with a 4.56. To that point though, if i ever spend the money...

There are new wireless trailer brakes that you can get that work with the brake pedal, its pretty awesome and excited to try it when we get a trailer

Thank you for confirming my worry, this has solidified my choice!

I am leaning that way for future purposes of the build as well!

Haha I don't want stock, I want a little better!

This is much appreciated!! It definitely answers the question that the couple hundred RPM is not worth being concerned about weight to me, I'd rather have. 4.88 gear and be able to move everything confidently and just drive a little slower!

Been planning a regear this spring to 4.88s with the intentions of going to 35" tires. This also with "help" compensate for the loss of HP/torque at higher elevations, especially when climbing from 5k ft to 9k+. This will also allow us to add armor and not have to worry about added weight. With...
