97 Ram gear swap.
Hey guys. Im fairly new to the Ram. I used to run Dakota's. Got my first Ram about 9 months ago. Anyway, my truck has a 5" lift with 35" tires on it. Since they are already geared high with the auto the tires only made it worse. Im looking into putting different gears in the axles and i was looking for some input. Would I be better off with 3.90's or 4.10's? I want the truck to do well off-road and be able to pull better. Not looking for high speed or anything like that. Would be content with doing 80mph on the highway haha. Has anyone done this before? If so, how did you make out? Any and all input is greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time guys!!

you def either want 4.56 or 4.88 ..... thats the gears you would want to use to keep your truck back to stock power ( if you had origional tires ). you'll get your low end power back and also better gas mileage. personally i would go with 4.56 for 35's only because i also have a 5.5 inch lift and 35's and i have room for 37's and thats what im putting under her this summer and 4.88 is good for 37's
