Need some advise or input about gear ratios. I'll be picking up a rear end for my bulild shortly , my question is this , my truck has 3.73s in it now with 36" tires , would i be better off moving up to 4.11 now and swapping out both axles ? Im new to this and wonder how the large tire size affect final drive ratio , i dont want the truck to be a balless wonder from a stop but i still want to go on the highway and i only have a turbo 400 , no o/d.
 
Sorry for the stupid noob question :haha: , did a search and found the gear ratio calculator. I figure i'll try to find a set of 4.10's seeing how it looks like it'll only run about 400rpm higher at highway speeds.
