gear change

I have 92 f150 4x4 with 410 gears and a 5speed the truck had 35s on befor I got it.The guy wanted his tires 4 his new truck. I am running 33's and the is geared great for offroading but not so go on the highway . I dont have a tach but the moter is reving higher then nornal a 100km. and up. I am thinking 373 would be a better ratio

If you payed someone to change them, it would be cheaper to buy new 35's.

Id still say just get a set of 35s and be happy, or if ur dead set on just keepin ur 33s and changing gears then 3.73s would work ok, i have 33s and 3.73s in my 97 but thats a totally different animal, i vote for keeping the 4.10s and throwin on some 35s

What I was saying, is that if you were asking about regearing both axles with new r/p in each and setup, it would be more cost effective to just step up in the tire size. If labor is free, then I guess it wouldnt be as big of a deal. Has he set gears up before?
