gearing question
so i have a 4.8 ext cab 4x4. 4l60e tranny and im puttin 33's on it. she has 32's right now and it dogs her so when i go 33's im gonna regear. i know the formula old tire?new tie times new gear equals true ratio but. straight up what would be a good gear with those tires and my little engine. im thinkin 4.10s but i drive to cali alot. dont want to sacrafice to much mpg and she def needs some help towing. i have a 18 ft bayliner and it struggles up and down hills. so what do you think?

RE: gearing question
3.73 is a good gear to be able to tow and accelerate without giving up MPG.

RE: gearing question
then 4.10s would be a pretty good option i think 4.56 would be a little overkill tho.

RE: gearing question
yeah if you already have 3.73s id go 4.10... 4.56 would definitely be overkill with 33s though
