If you want to off road it, you put in higer gear set to get more tourque for crawling.

Here is one, you could also look at the site for randys ring and pinion.

So I've figured out which gear ratio I'd want and all that but when I'm looking on say yukongear.com I'm having trouble finding what exactly I should be. I'm looking at ring and pinion sets for a ford 8.8" -31 spline ... I've found a YG F8.8-488 .... Is that 488 at the end the gear ratio? Because the one right before it said 456

While we're on this topic, what would it take to change the gear let's say from 3.55 (mine) to 3.73 on a 2011 FX2?
What ballpark cost would be involved to make all the necessary changes?
I assume the computer has to be updated after the gears are changed?
Any transmission work needed?
Lastly, I'm assuming that any warranty would be voided if I made the change?
