Gear Ratio

I have 373 gears with 35" tires. I am considering changing to 411 gear ratio to help on the low end a little. Good idea or bad idea??

good idea.

IMO with any truck; if you lift it, re-gear it.

4.11 is better than 4.56 gearings. 4.56 will bring it back to stock but you will see higher rpms at highway speeds.

Thanks for the input. What would reasonable price be for the new gears installed?

probably around 700 for labor and 350 for the gears.

if you dont have enough cash to do it at once, do the back first, and pull front driveshaft untill you can do the front
