Default how big gear?

just wanted to know what was the biggest gear you can run and still retain your stock abs and traction control?

You should be able to run whatever you want. I have 4.10 but the gearing does not affect the ABS or the Traction Control. I see you have a 2002 and it should be the same as my 2000. The ABS and Traction control both work off of exciter rings on the axles out by the hubs that has a megnegtic pickup. Gears would not affect this at all.
What I am saying is for a 4 channel set up. Look under your car at the rear wheel. If there is a small plug on the backside of the hub behind the axle with two wires running in to it you have a 4 channel set up. I know this because I just put a whole new rear in mine. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> But boottom line is the gearing will not affect either.
