I finally got my 4.11's installed. I looked at the receipt for the gears and i bought them 1/28/13 lol so exactly a year later i get them installed, lol. it was a very nice quite drive home, it does have a very slight whine on decelerating around 45-50 but most people probably wouldn't even notice, and you cant hear it with the radio on so I'm happy! $418.36 for the ring and pinion and master install kit and $663.27 for installation, axle seals, fluid and additive. I really haven't got on it, and probably wont for a while, until the gears break-in, but at 65mph it runs about 1900rpm's. Im happy with that because i do a lot of stop and go and low speed driving. not much interstate. My speedo in 2mph fast and it use to be 3mph slow. They did tell me my driveshaft was out of balance, may need to get that checked out. I don't really feel the vibration though.

Aren't they the stock rims from a newer (11ish) year truck? I like them better than most aftermarket rims.

Yes to the camper...

That's what I'm thinking, just don't want to spend that much. I'll wait till I find the right deal.

Thanks, I bought these a few years ago for $300. Just saw a set on CL the other day for $150.

Hey Hunter, i am going to swapping my truck to 6 lug soon here, wondering what rotor's you got exactly?
