That statement is incorrect, I know several people running 4.88 in
D35s, Randys ring and pinion has them for sure.
You should have 4.10s in there now, put your 33s on and
see how it does before you spend any money - if you don't
do a lot of highway riding, you might be able to live with it
until you get some more cash together.

Re: Gears and axles
Thanks for the links Bill. That's scary, though. I've talked to a few
different shops to get quotes on gears and none of them have said anything
about the ring gear being too small for 4.88's.
Also, IIRC, getting a CV kit and new driveshaft will allow me to get rid of
the t-case drop kit, correct? If I'm going to get a new axle (i.e. an 8.8)
I assume I should wait until then to get the kit as the length of the
driveshaft may change. Is that correct?
Thanks!

Re: Gears and axles
I do have 4.10's but have heard that throwing 33's on there will likely burn
up my clutch.
I do highway driving, but would keep my 31's for that anyway. Long road
trips on the 33's wouldn't make a lot of sense.
