rear end gear

I have a '92 F-150, w/ 302 cui, E4OD trans, 2WD, stock rear. I just up-sized my tires and wheels to a 32x11.5x15" and I've lost a lot of HP due to this. So it's time to change gears, any ideas on what size gear set I should use, I'm not very knowable in this area.

If you have 3.55, you should switch to 4.11. That is what I have read, someone else could confirm this.

If you plan on staying with 32 inch tires, 3.73 would be preferred unless you do a lot of rock crawling. If you plan on future upgrades including lift and 33-35inch tires you will probably want to go with 4.10's
