Ive got 4.10s with 285/75r16, I'm happy with the setup, but I have a 5spd.


What gears you should run all depend on what your trying to do with the truck.

i heard the radix dose not like that much to be in the high rpms, cuz right now it seems like if im running 4.56 with the gears and tires so what i wanted to know if i go to 3.73's is it worth it , right now my 3rd gear ends like around 12xmph in 3rd

According to my calculations you have a 25.68" tire/wheel combo, that is pretty damn small for these trucks. Are you having issues getting it to hook out of the hole? Seems that you could increase gas mileage and have a more tractable power-train if you step down in your gears. That is unless you are right at the top of third when you hit the end of the quarter, which is right where you want to be; as long as power hasn't started dropping off yet, so that you don't have to shift into forth. Going with a lower rear end ratio will lower your RPMS at cruise and at the end of the quarter. Your call, but like I said before, small tire diameter.

I think you should bring it down with that small of a tire. I went from 3.73 to 4.10 after I did the 80E, but im also running 32" tall tires.
