Take 2,000 and buy some 4.56 gears to push them 37" down the road.

get 4.88 gears and you won't have any complaints about power.

You want to give your truck more ***?

And its Your not "ur"..thats not a word..normally I dont say anything but when you use texting slang language in the actual title of the thread thats asking to be corrected there are a lot of older people here that can only read english. I'm not trying to make fun or bash on you its just really annoying to see all this texting slang.

and ditto you need to correct the gears in your axles to compensate for the bigger tires otherwise to will just burn up the rest of your drive train making it work harder at lower rpm's...

Gears, or downsize your tires.

37's are big *** tires. i'd go to tire calculator and see what percentage that is above your stock size on the door jamb. then see what rear end gear you got, and go down ( up in number) at least as much as the same percentage. whats your current gear and was that stock or has it been changed ?

you still in school - do the calculation and turn it in for extra credit.

With stupid-tall 37'' tires, you would need 4.88s. Downsize your tires to 35'' and put 4.56 gears in. Your axles, transmission, wheel bearings, ball joints, steering box, brakes, and your wallet will thank you!
