4.10 or 4.56?
#1
I have a 3.0 Auto and 3.73 LS gears in my truck. The highest size tire i'm going up to is 33's and I want some more power when accelerating up hills and starting out. Which gears should I get? Money is really not a problem because my uncle can install them for free so I just have to buy it and he will put it on.

bryan is right, if you do mostly highway driving, youll want 4.10s, my ranger with 4.10s and 32s cruises around 3100-3200 rpm at 80mph which is still a bit high i think, with the 4.56 it will be higher rpms than that, so be honest with yourself, if its mostly highway and youre not going higher than 33s, the 4.10s should be perfect for you

Ideas for Spare tire holder/rack....
well i still think that on a primarily street ranger, with 33s, i personally would go the more conservative route and go with the 4.10s, they will also get you better gas mileage. NOW, if you took it off road or were planning to go higher than 33s in the future, which it looks like you may according to the plans in your sig, you may want the (numerically) higher gears

The problem with that is 3.73 to 4.10 is not noticeable EVEN if you stay with the same tires. What size tires did you have originally?
If they were around 28" then 33/28 =1.18 3.73*1.18 =4.40
but you would still lose power since they are bigger and take more
power to spin up to speed also more drag with a bigger tire.
In other words dont bother going from 3.73 to 4.10 as you wont notice any difference. If you are going with 32's or 33's I would get 4.56's
If you have an 8.8" rearend I think there is also a 4.30 gear too...

although on the other hand, if you want quick pick-up, and don't care bout your gas mileage, i'd say for the 4.56 gears
