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.

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.

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.
