Which gears do you prefer for seat of the pants feel and overall driving, I have 3:42's now and I can't decide if I like them or not, the truck runs good but think it could be better, it will get up and go on upper end but feels like it could use a lower gear on the bottom end
Then its time for 4.10s.... or 3.73s

The difference from 3.42 to 3.73 will be very hard to even notice.

How tall a tire you running?
