Swapping gears

I have a 93 Bronco all original with a 351w, E4OD trans. and 355: gears. I’m wanting to get a little more power on the bottom end without taking too much off the top, so I’m thinking of replacing the 355’s with 373’s. What do you guys think, will the 373’s be a good choice? If not, can you suggest a better ratio?
Thank you.

What sixe tires do you have, and where do they spend most of their time?? (blacktop or offroad)?

I would go with 4.10'ssince you have overdrive. especially if you plan on running 33's or even 35's they will still work great. it costs to much to play the gear game more then once since you must do the front and rear ends at the same time or you wont have 4x4 for awhile.

15" tires may go bigger though. Mostly driven on-road.

your tire is like a 29" which i believe is the stock height. you can go as tall as 32 or 33's stock but might rub just a tad. I run 31's and am happy for the time being till i can put a lift and 33's on.
