Gears to spin 33's

[huvik]

I'm getting to the point where I would like to regear my diffs and was wondering what you guys think I should change to? I have 33x12.5 tires and use my truck for alot of highway driving and a fair amount of mudding and off roading in the snow. thanks

it helps when people know, first: what you drive, and second: what gears you have in it currently, and something else to keep in mind, if it is 4x4 you will have to change the front gears as well.

I will be running 4.56s with my 2.9l 5spd trail rig/daily driver. If you have a 4.0 I think 4:10s might even work. Depends what you want(performance or gas mileage) more info would help.

For a 33" tire on most RBVs you want 4.56s or 4.88s.

If you do a lot of highway cruising, go 4.56.

+1 on the 4.56. I've them with a 4.0 and 33s. Great in low range off road as well as getting up to speed on the highway.

Manual: 4.10s
Automatic: 4.56s

IMO for 3.0!

sorry abou that guys I thought my vehical description was included in my profile to the side of my post....
I have a Ford Ranger 2.9L 4x4 5 speed with 3.73 gears.
I was considering 4.56 or 4.10 gears..kinda leaning towards the 4.56 though since right now im not even touching 5th gear on the highway.

You'll want 4.56 or 4.88s reardless, I'll tell you right now 4.10s arent enough for 33s with a 3.0. He has a 2.9 and should get 4.56s or 4.88s.

i installed 4.56's in my ranger. 33 inch nittos and i just got back from my camping trip and it did great up all the hills.. 15% grade or more uphill

my 3.0 runs great on the highway with the 4.56's.. doin 70+ the whole time

Agreed. 4.56's or 4.88's.

Any engine besides a 4.0L + 33s = 4.88
