I have the stock 235/75r15's on now, and I have the 3.73 rear, non LS. I have seen more than one reccomendation for gear ratio/tire combos. I am pretty sur that 3.73 with 31's should be fine, my question was how will 3.73 be with 32's, i mean "just a little sluggish" or "can't pass downhill"? If not, whats optimum for 32's, 4.10?

I have 33's with 3.73's. And that is fine.
 






OK, I see, when I searched what i did find was ppl saying 4.10 was best, I see you have a chip though. I have just what's in my signature, so 3.73 with 32's should be ok still?
 






Yeah you will still be ok. Im running 33's with 3:73's and its fine also.
 






I see, both of you have chips though, how much is that going to affect it? I know you have 33's and a chip, so 32's with no chip would be about the same?
 






If you have the money to get 4.10's laying around do it. It will give you a better response. But if you think you need 4.10s you really dont. Right now my chip is out and it is close to the same without the chip. The chip only adds HP supposely not really how peppy it is.
 






thanks, that's I was looking for.
 






i have 31s with stock 3:73LS and noticed no differance with the 31s. but i want 4:10s for the extra off the line power.
