Is your rig an auto or manual trans?

may make a difference.
The 4.88's will bring the speedo back to within stock range. you'll have about the same tire size to gear ratio.
5.29's will give you better off-the-line performance, but will increase your RPM's at highway speeds.
Not to mention your speedo will read about 5% higher than you're actually going.

If you have an auto trans, I would definatly do the 5.29's. The auto is sluggish enough that it's worth the extra RPM's.

See what I use in my sig line. I like it fine.
