OK in the next month to 2 im going to be buying a bigger set of tires. I made up my mind to get some wrangler duratrac tires in 33x12.5x15. Right now I got a 7.5 rear axle and a d35 geared at 3.73. I plan to go to the junk yard and hopefully find a working 8.8 with 4.10 gearing in it. After looking at the gear ratio guide in the tech library im not sure what gearing to really do.
Currently I got 31x10.5x15 with 3.73 gearing and I can say from a stop its a dog. Once you get moving tho its fine and ive just gotten used to it this way. I want to bring my truck back to stock ratio when I get these new tires. Never changed gears before leaves me completly clueless as to how much of a difference going a step up in gears actually is. What would be your suggestions on gearing for a 3.0L with 33x12.5x15 to feel like a stock truck?.
