anybody run 33"s with 411 gears? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tlynde · 05-19-2005, 06:50 PM

I am going to be mounting some 33" tires on my 83 4x4 and I'm wondering how much it's is going to increase my ratio, I just have the stock 28's on now.

It's a daily driver so I don't want it to be a dog around town. but I also don't want the overall ratio too low. to be honest I'm more concerned with power than gas mileage.
so should I keep the 373 gears or go 411's?

any insight?

Thanks
T

At a minimum for 33's you want 4.11's for driver, if you plan to tow alot, I would go for 4.56.
