Question on Gears??????

I have been debating to install 4.10 gears on my 00 truck now that I have a 6" lift and 315 X 75R16. Is there a benefit on doing this?

Running bigger tires changes the ratio, so by putting in 4.10 gears over the 3.73's you will get more power back. Problem is the cost. Most don't swap gears until they get to the larger tires where 4.56's and bigger come into play. If you tow, 4.10's would give you more power ( keeping the torque in the right range).
