bigger tires
Wait, is 3.37 an actual rear end ratio? Because that sounds right up my alley. Please post back and let me know.

Yes, bigger tires will cause a loss of power. 4.10's are a good choice for most everything. You'll get decent mileage, but still be able to climb hills. I have a '96 150 with a 4" susp. lift, 33's, 300-6, and 3.55 gears. My loss of power was very small. I still have power when I want it, and it still tows great. 4.10's would be nice, but it works fine.

I have 32s on my 95 I-6 with a 4 inch lift and it runs pretty good. The straight 6 has great low end torque and with the bigger tires, it just makes it a little lower so the 6 can handle it okay. 32s or 33s would run okay, but any bigger then that you should change the gears. I have 3.55s and mine runs great.
