Default 33s and 410 gears

Picked up a 06 z71 leveled it on toyo MT 295/70/17s (33.2tall)

well the stock 342 gears suck on 33s...lazy and doesnt tow all that great!

Wanting to go 410s. Who runs this setup and whats your take on it?


goal is to gain some lowend and fuel mileage.
Basically compensate for the 33s and get back to stock power


Gear calculators says @70 mph with 410s ...2030rpms
342s is 1680rpm @70mph...luging down on any incline

4.10s or even 4.56s depending on how much fun you want to have but 4.10s will defanitly wake the truck back up

I run 5.13's on 33" on my DD.

4.56 at least IMO, who wants stock gear when you can have so much more fun.

You'd be better off with 4.56's. I ran 28" tires with 4.10's, highway mileage did not suffer at all.
