Default Best Place to Re-gear

I have a 2012 XLT with a 6in lift, 35s, K&N 63 air filter, FM true duals, and 3.55 gears (and no tuner). Do I need to re-gear (to like 4:10 or add tuner or both) and if so, do you have a recommendation on where to go in Raleigh, NC? The cheapest I've found so far is East Cost Gear Supply, but that is still $2000. 4 wheel is north of $2000

Thanks in advance!

I live in Raleigh as well. Did you try Wakefield ATV in Wake Forest? Or maybe Down East Off-road in Wilson? Super Trucks Plus in Garner is also highly recommended.

Thanks! I'll check those places out. Do you suggest I install a tuner as well?

I believe a tuner would help your situation, you can give SCT a shot.

A SCT tuner would be able to dial in your larger tires as well as give back some torque lost on the larger tires.
