I'm running a Motive 4.10 gear installed in the stock 10 bolt. Everything is prtty quiet back there, I guess? My 3" true duals are the only ones making noise!

AAM 3.73s with an Eaton posi is a good set-up.

I have had Motives in My 10 bolt and now my 9" for 2 reasons, Strong and Quiet. I would highly recomend the Motive Performance.
