Looks like I'm going to have to see what gears I have my rpo says I have 3.42 but if I put a 3.73 gear ratio in on that web site it basic matchs my rpm at a few different mph

I have 4.10's and 33's... RPM's are back very close to stock, but it still feels a little bit sluggish with the added weight from the tires (compared to stock tires and 3.42's). My BFG's are load range D, so they may be a little heavier than the average tire.

If i ever change gears in the future it will be to 4.30 or 4.56.

ok so I have a 3.42 gear ratio found out by spinning the wheel and counting the driveshaft spins ..... im scared putting a 3.73 will have me reving to high on the highway ...

so the game plan is to just not touch anything lol and see how it drives I don't plan on having a driveshaft for the front being made right away so ill have time to see how the truck drives
