Default gears and lift
I have a 2002 f150 supercrew that i want to lift 6" and tuck 37's. I dont know whaich gears i should go with because stock gears will obviously just ruin my transmission. I need to know which i should go with and how much it would probly cost me including labor.

Go with 4.56s. They'll put you around the same ratio as stock tires with 3.73s. could be anywhere from $900-1600 per axle if you have them installed.

Yes it will. You can get by with stock gears if you run 35s....
