Gear questions. . .

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 12-Dec-01 AT 11:55 PM (EST)]Hi, I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I've got the inline 6 and everything on my Bronco is stock except for the 5 spd tranny that was put in a few years back.

I really want to put a lift kit on and raise it up a bit. With the raise I will be getting larger tires which raises the question of gears. I'm not sure what the stock gears are but what gears are you guys running for your 4x4's?

It just depends on the size of the tire you want to run. With 33's a 3.73 gear is nice, but with 35's a 4.10 is more desireable.

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 13-Dec-01 AT 01:47 AM (EST)]Would I be able to have 38" tires and still keep it highway drivable with the 300-6 and 4.10's? Ive already got 33"'s on and they arent nearly as big as id like them to be.
