A 4.10 would be a big improvement and might be want you want based on your driving. A 4.56 would play better here if you live in a hilly area or at a higher elevation too. One more note, 3.73 with 33's is about the same in effective gear ratio as stock 225's and 3.07 gears which is no barn burner either. So you really do not want to go 3.73 route unless you plan to go to smaller tires than 33's. ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

4.56 is as close as it gets to how it was stock.

Re: REGEARING FROM 3.07 TO EITHER 3.73 OR 4.11
Sorry, but that is incorrect. Her original gear ratio is 3.07 and her
tires were 29". It's s simple ratio between the tire diameter and gear ratio to maintain the same RPM. 29/3.07=9.45. If she maintains that same ratio between tire diameter and gear ratio, her RPM will remain the same. To calculate the gear ratio, she just needs to divide the tire diameter by 9.45 to get the proper gear ratio if she wants to achieve the same RPM as original. for 31s it would be 3.26 for 33s it would be 3.49 Chris Carl S wrote: > 4.56 is as close as it gets to how it was stock. > > Carl > > "Tracie" <brainart@upstate.edu> wrote in message > news:1190386700.755334.108510@19g2000hsx.googlegro ups.com... >> I have posted this once today, but for some reason it did not post. >> If anyone finds it, sorry for the duplicate post. >> >> Anyhoo, I definitely want to re-gear but I am not sure if the 3.73 or >> the 4.11 ratio would be better for me.
