Lift ?'s
OK, I am running a 4" with 315/75/16's and 3:73 gears. I think it is perfectly geared now.
If I go to 38's and a 6" lift, would 4:10's or 4:56's put me back to what I got now?

what trans are you running?
for a auto trans with overdrive 315's should be using at least 4:10(with a big cooler) but best is 4:56 and 38's should be running 4:88 gear minimum
manual trans or a auto without o.d. you can get away with less gear

with a 4 speed you can run 4:56 with 38's
bds is the best riding, it is more expensive but have the best no questions asked warranty on their springs
