Default Should I re-gear??

I have a V6 running 33's with 3.92's. Is that why the truck has no power?? I had a 98 with a 5.2 before I bought this one and the power difference is unbelievable with a V8. I know the V6 is an under powered motor for the weight of these trucks but.......... If I install 31's, would it make that much of a difference??? What about 4.10's?? thanks

you wont notice a difference going from 39 to 41. you need about a .5 change to notice anything.

I would got with 31" tires if you arent off roading. If you are, I would switch to 4.10 or 4.27.

However, the best option would to drop a 360 in there =D
