True Sorry if I missed that there was going to be a tire swap on this thread some where.So if your going with larger tire size then you want 3.73`s.This will also do a big numbr hit on the fuel economy with the tire swap.Which once again I didnt notice if this is being done or not?

So I should go ahead and get 3.73?

Yes 3.73 would be the best gear ratio.
