would this work on the rear end of a 7.5 ranger

Trucks a 94 2.3 2wd 220k on the clock

bought a set of 33's from tire rack, rather than burning my clutch up trying to spin em on a 16 inch rim figured id do a gear too.

i also understand 5.13 is a short gear if that could work, but could anyone shed any light on 7.5 gear swaps and what would be a good one to get thats shorter than stock but wont ruin the drivability too much being its a city driver mud truck in central florida.

thanks

4.88:1 would be a better ratio for 33s on your 2.3L truck.
Unfortunately 4.88 isn't available for a 7.5" you'd have to swap to a 8.8" (which is just as well anyways, the 7.5" gears start to become fragile at those ratios).

you'd probably be ok with those on city streets. don't think i'd want to be cruising the freeway with them for long stretches though.
