My 04.5 currently has 4.10's. I do not do nearly enough towing with it to justify that much gear and would benefit from 3.73's in my opinion. What are some of you guys running down the highway with 3.73's and 315/70/17 tires. I am right at 2k at 70.

I am also looking for a good recommendation as to who to go with to buy a new ring and pinion setup and are there any other things I should change?
 
Why not just swap axles with one that already has 3.73 gears?? Or are you looking for aftermarket? If so I'd go with Randy's Ring & Pinion.

I seem to be an odd duck? I run 65 @ 2k with 3:73 and 33s...

I swapped from 4.10's to 3.73's in my 03 thinking I might gain some mileage (built auto and stock sized tires). Absolutely no difference. Just lowered rpms going down the road.
 
I tried it as well when I was on the road a lot, and it was a complete waste of time and money. Made the charger feel a good bit laggier and I swear it hurt MPG by a couple 10th's.

I ran the 373's for a month and switched them back to 410's.
