you're engine will run at higher rpms with the 4.08's. This will lead to decreased gas mileage, and more wear on tear on the engine. (it takes more energy to drive at 3400 rpms than 2800 rpms)

your first gear will also be super short, and all gears after that you will move through quicker.

ive been back and forth between getting them and not.

also, you have a 7at so you will also need a manuel rear end to run 4.08's.
It will run you close to $4k including labor to have this done just so you know.
