New gearing

Hey guys, my 2000 X has 37" tires on it with I believe the stock 3.73's. Im looking to change to either 4.88's or 4.56's. I wanna make it a little lower than stock, im an off the line kinda guy. So looking for whatever input you have or if anyone's got a set of gears for sale. Thanks in advance or your input.

I was running 4.88s with 38" swampers on my 00 f350 with the 5.4 and it was perfect. I'd imagine you could get away with 4.30s or 4.56s
