hey guys this is my first post on this forum so I'm a huge noob and hope im posting in the right section.

I bought a 2013 fx4 a few months ago and did a leveling kit and 33's when the truck had 500 miles on it. just rolled 5,000 and coming from a lifted powerstroke this truck is just to small for my taste.

I'm looking to do a 6-8" lift on 37's. but i don't want to destroy the transmission on my brand new truck! I'm 22 and don't have the money to replace a trans in 10,000 miles....I was planning on re-gearing to 4.88's hoping to save the trans and get the MPG's somewhere close to stock

any suggestions? or input would be great!
thanks guys!

 

Yeah, rehear and that should be good to go.

 

Brand new truck... 6-8" Lift with 37's and you're worried about a transmission? Did your FX4 come with 4.10 or 3.73 gears?

I've ran 3.73 and 35's for almost 2yrs now.. 4.88's will definitely give you power...

 

I would go with 4.10 or 4.56 gears. I think the 4.88's would be a bit to low.

 

mine came with the 3.55's. which is why even if i ran 35's i feel like i should re-gear

 

if its to small for your tst why did you spend 30k on the truck ? just curious

 

They dont make gears yet for 2011 and up

 

sick of buying used trucks, then having to fix problems created by other people who neglect maintenance. I use my truck as a truck and need something i can fully trust. there's no better feeling then knowing that your truck has been taken care of properly

 

I couldn't agree more.

 

Yup
