I have 3.73s. Is this a 6.0 in an HD or a 6L90E swap? Mods other than the gears? Tire size?

3.73s should pull pretty decently with those short tires. Lots of guys on here with the six-speed have swapped gears.

I'm running 3.73s and I like them. I wouldn't run anything steeper than a 4.10/4.11 on the 6 speeds because the first gear is real low already.

It would be a bit different, for sure, but maybe not as much as you would like.
