Hate to burst your bubble but I've got the 3.21 axle ratio *AND* the
SureGrip diff. They may have changed it for the '97 and '98 models, but
up thru '96, the 3.21 *WAS* available with SureGrip. Don't get me
wrong, I wish I had done my axle ratio homework a little more before I
ordered my truck, I would've definitely got the 3.55 or the 3.90 gears.
:-(
I definitely agree with your recommendation to get the 3.55s!!

Ciao!
