    Allright what is the difference between Hi-pinion gearing and regular?     How would I know what set up I need? I know I would need 4:88 for 33inch tires.

High pinion means the pinion sits higher than the stock pinion. Basiccly the pnion gers sits on top of the gear as apossed to the bottom like stock. As long as you are not going with a huge lift you will not need high pinion diffs. Stockers are fine. Also, high pinion diff gears are not the same as regular diff gears.

If u have a larger lift a hi-pinion will decrease the driveshaft angle and keep it further from the bad bad rocks

     Would or should I go with the high pinion set up if im going to be runnin a 5inch suspension lift w/ a 3inch body lift?

  why you need that much body lift

[79coyotefrg]

but i like the hipinion

I bought the truck with the body lift already on it. I'm gonna be ordering a 5inch SAS kit soon, So i figured i would install the SAS on it and see how i like it before removing the body lift.

go with as little lift as possible. You should be able to run up to 37's with 4 inch lift and no BL.  cut down or eliminate the body lift if possible. What size tires are you running?

You shouldn't need them but if you have the extra money get 'em. From what I heard they do cost alot more.

  Ditto.  Ditch the body lift, or atleast cut it down to 1".  A 4" sas kit should afford major clearance for 35s and should still clear 37s ok too.

u mean the top part of the  fender or the inner fender?  what BS you running on your wheels? spacers?

[86turboyota]

not sure on the backspacing... 15x8 procomp rims.... 1.5in wheel spacers on each side... they bit the back of the fender and the body mount at full stuff.

Allright appreciate the input. Ive finally decided to go with a 5inch lift on 33's. I'll prolly go with reg gears over the high pinion since I'm not a hardcore rock junkie. The body lift is definately out the window. I assume i will have ample clearage at max articulation with the 5inch lift on 33's without any fender trimming.     Once again thanks for the input, Its like family here everyone is    im
