how much can I haul when i move to a 3.73? The manual I uploaded it here and saved to my phone. The manual says 6,000 lbs. so a max of 1,240lbs? I have hauled over 2,000 before with my 4.45 ratio.

Around 1,250# is pretty much the standard for the Ranger and that is usually the leaf springs they come with.
Keep in mind the max combined weight on the door jam sticker is the max you are supposed to carry, even if you upgrade the front and rear springs, since that is what the truck is rated for and in some states, registered for.
Plus, if the insurance company finds out you were over weight after an accident, you could be dropped or the claim denied. That will depend on your agent and the insurance company you have. I also want to emphasis the could part.
This isn't to give you a hard time. Just to make you aware. I've been over weight. Sometimes on accident, some times on purpose, but ai don't make a habit of it. So, it's a pot calling the kettle black kind of thing. Or as some others like to say, when you point a finger at one person, three are pointing back at the pointer.
Just be aware of the situation and act accordingly. Also, don't advertise it. Especially since we do get some inexperienced people who may take it the wrong way and end up crashing their truck and/or getting hurt because they over extended themselves beyond their abilities.
