Re gear question
I am planning on getting some new tires and was wondering what gears should i go with so it won't feel like a rock? The new tires might be 32's or 31's not to sure yet. Thanks for any feedback. And if so wheres the best place to get them and what are the steps to re-gearing by yourself.

I'd say you should be fine. You will notice a power loss, but you really can't say weather it will be ok or not until after you do it.
Re-gearing is not a simple process, especially if you don't do it often or if you have never done it.
I paid 300 for mine to get done, thats one of the 3 things I dont' mess with, the other two are engines and auto transmissions

I hate to post links to other forums/sites but TRS has really good technical info.

check out the "Technical library" Everything you would possibly need to know about regearing, what gear ratio for what tire size, etc.

I've done 3.73's and 31's. You'll be fine around town, on the highway cruising wasn't bad unless it was a big hill. I drive up to NH every other weekend and it was killing me having to go into 4th with it pinned and still losing some speed. thats why I went to 4.10's. but if I didn't have those hills I would have never re-geared.
