Wait...what axle are you running? If it's a D30 the 5:13 pinion will be awfully small. On a D44 you'll be ok

I would consider staying conservative at 4.88 and risk some sluggishness in a D30.
I was warned all day about this by everyone from mall crawlers to mechanics when I got my D30 re-geared.
At 5.13 things get too small and starts making people nervous.
I am not going to a true size 37 ( possibly upgrading from my 315/70s to some true 35-36 range tires ) so I stuck with 4.56 since I would be fine based on the charts and ended up with an elocker - 4.56 btw is awesome on my 315/70 "35s".

Oh and gussets, sleeve/truss, and new balljoints possibly axle shafts. consider the tierod/draglink upgrades too if you are still on stock....
