[QUOTE="Jerry Gerner 2, post: 991632, member: 67360"] Travis, 4.56's are the max for the Dana 35 in the ST's/Explorer's. You'll be good to match your speedo with 4.56's, 4.88's is gonna be too harsh for your dd and won't really make much difference in towing. As for brakes I would pass on the fancy cross drilled/slotted ones, I had a set on mine and they didn't last me a year (this was before any lift too). Since we live in the salt/ rust belt the road salt, debris found its way into the holes in the rotors, lodged themselves in there and destroyed the pads and rotors. JMO from experience. Invest in a good transmission cooler like Todd Z has since you tow alot like I do, I still need to get one and soon, I might need to rebuild my trans in the next couple years because of all the punishment I put it through.
