Gearing

[CMN1322]

Hey guys new here, still trying to figure my way around here, I have a 7.3 with a built E4OD, running 285s, but wanting to run 33's or 35's but have 3.73 in my (1985-1992) sterling 10.25, with my 285s it still seems to tall of gear any opinions or thought would be great and any other forums you might be able to suggest?

No thoughts? Thinking that 4.88's with 35's would be a good swap compared to the 3.73's with 285s

am I missing something? Where did he compare a gasser to a diesel??


CMN.. a 285/75/16 is basically a 33" tall tire.

What is your primary use for the pickup?
