Another Gearing Question/Survey?

[kaspar139]

There have been several discussions in the past few weeks about changing the gears, and I wanted to know if anyone has done this on a K1500 from the 3.73 to 4.10?  If so, what were the results?  I upped my tire size and am still DESPERATELY trying to make a decision here.  Basically, I want the uuuumpfff back from layin down the pedal that I had before I raised the tires.  

Anyone... anyone...

Thanks in advance.

You can solve that problem with a gear swap for sure but if you aren't doing any towing,I'd still recommend the Hypertech PP3 and/or a K & N FIPK.

Even if you decide to do both of my suggested mods,it will be cheaper than a gear swap unless you buy the ring and pinion and do it yourself.

If I do a gear swap, in the rear it will go from 3.73 to 4.10, but what will happen up front, any changes necessary?

If you change the rear gearing you HAVE to change the front as well.

I don't think you'd like what would happen if you only changed the back and decided to use 4wd.(NOT GOOD!)
