Proffit's Cruisers would be my go to shop in CO. They are on the western slope. Otherwise Slee Off Road, or High Country 4x4?

I just had CODE in Rifle install my e-locker. They were easy to work with. In the front range I would look at Slee in Golden or Front Range Off-Road Fabrication in Ft. Collins.

I really don't know.. 4.88 was on my list but installer was trying to talk me to 4.56 because of 33's.. either would be good.. some have said only 200rpm difference. I just don't want to loose my highway function

I would say you won't lose your highway function, just need to slow down some. In our 4.56'ed Power Wagon, I have found that 65 mph seems to be it's happy spot, empty or towing, it keeps rear diff at around 175*F. The Hemi & G56 will certainly do much more, but the rear diff heats up a LOT more than @ 65. Most people don't give diff temps a second thought. I have got temps of 215*f+. empty, running @ 80 mph. Highest temp was 315*F when towing our 10,500 lb toyhauler on a 95*F day. I use an infrared thermometer & have verified it's reading with 2 other thermometers. Always within a few degrees of each other. I also use full synthetic fluid, always.

Addicted Offroad - Ft Collins. Scotty knows his shiznit.

Or just buy from ECGS - let them do the setup. Order, pay core, ship, install, send core, enjoy. I'm ordering mine on Monday. :)

I have heard from several people that Colorado Axle and Gear is about the best in the business. I just haven't put together the funds for lockers and gears yet.
