thinking about changing my gears
I have a 2003 7.3 PSD and slightly modified with tuner, intake and exhaust. I also have lifted it 6.5 inches and running 37's. My stock gear is 3:73 and its ok but I can tell a slight difference in acceleration since I put the tires on. What gear would put me close to original....4:56 or lower? Help is much appreciated and what would be a good brand

I would go with 4.56's, it's almost perfect. Do not go with anything that is numerically bigger in size, the pinion head gets too small, and under the rigors of a high-torque diesel, you risk a greater probability of shearing a pinion gear off.
