Changing differential gears
WWould like to hear from those that have actually changed their rear-end ratios. Did you get any improvement? Was it worth it? Any pitfalls?

What part of Texas do you live in?
A lot of the bigger towns have 4x4 shops. Might be worth checking with them. Years ago, I had a Toyota 4x4 that I went with bigger tires on. I did the work myself to remove the axles and pumpkin (wasn't really that hard), bought the parts and they put then in the pumpkin and shimmed it for about $100. Probably more now.
Company is 4 wheel parts and they have stores in DFW, Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Beaumont and McAllen. Any good axle shop should be able to easily do the work.

Friend is helping with change out(he has garage and all the goodies to make life easier in the tools. Just looking for real life experiences to confirm if it had any validity or just garage talk.
