so ive been runnin the 35s for a while now with my stock gearing, 3.73s. i have the 3 in HBS leveling kit. im considerin goin to a 1.5 in leveling kit with 33s on the same rims i have and regearing to 4.10s. the truck is a pig as it is and these tires are really wearin on my frontend. what do yall think?

I would not of went with the 3" level in the first place...2.5 max that should help you out and you can still run the 35's

i would go to 33's wont be as hard on the drive train and more travel. i dont know if its a street queen or not but every bit helps

USCGfordboy

its definitely not a street queen lol ive beat on this truck pretty hard and it keeps comin back for more but its not exactly new anymore and i need to start takin it a little easier. i think im doin gears next month, my diablosport gets here tomorrow.

If you get 33's,stay with your current gears.No need to go with 410's.Now if you stay with you 35's and want to re-gear to 410's,thats fine,But with 33's and you get new gears,waste of money imo.

i just got my tuner today and it made a huge difference. i will probably just go with the 33s for now. does anyone run underdrive pulleys like the ones from BBK? havent heard much feedback on em

Skull31

You staying with your 373 gears i take it then?N yes the underdrive pulleys from BBk are good.My budy has them on his Half ton and he noticed a nice diference.

for now im gonna stay with the 373s. after i get new 33s i'll see how it is. i had 33 inch baja claws on it before my 35s, and it was still a little sluggish. but then again that was when the truck was almost completely stock.

a programmer does these trucks wonders. it cleans up the shifts and makes more power when you need it.

Skull31

Good to know.N yes like he said,tuners does wonders for our trucks to the point with 33's that you wont need to re-gear.Just do it if you want to know.Also if you have the money laying around then yes do it.However tho,with your 33's and a tuner you wont need to.Now if you'r planing on up gradeing to a lift and bigger tires at some point in the future,then yes,get the gears out of the way now.
