Personally I like the idea of having a 4.77 or 4.88 for my truck. With as many people running IFS lifts and 33's, it seems like a better match then either the 4.56's or the 5.38's. I agree that 4.88's is more desireable. I know Jgalt ordered new 4.77's from Merlin and found that those that were supposed to be for the Dana 44(off a 98 4cyl 4x4 Amigo didn't actually fit his Dana 44. I don't know if this was a fluke, so he just ended up returning them.

I believe they had a stamping on them that sounded referenced 48, where most Dana 44's have a stamp with that number in them(at least that is what I was told) I searched for the thread I asked about this in, but can't seem to find it.

Anyway, I like the idea, and would pay for some. I am not sure if/when I would go SAS, so I don't want to spend the money on 5.38's right now...just won't fit my 33's
