So I'm running 33's with stock 3.55 gear ratio and its lackin' some muscle. I have a full set of 3.73 gears but i don't know if i should get the install kits for them or just to order new gears and install kits. I don't really have that much money so i'm workin on a budget.

would 3.73 gears pull my truck alright if i stay with 33's? if i decide to jump to 35s would it still do ok or would it be back in the same boat i'm in now?
 






IMO you would waste time and money to go from 3.55 to 3.73. It'll still dog with 33's, and forget about 35s.
If you're going to change gears, go 4.56. If you can't afford it now, wait till you can.
 






even with 33s, if your going to swap your gears I would go all the way up to the 4:10. 4:10 would be a must if you are thinking of going up to35s
