I was trying to find out on here but couldn't get answers besides what gear ratio would go good with 37's but its a daily driver that I'll have a 6" suspension lift on, what are the pros and cons. Or should I go 3" body and 3" from springs and add-a-leaf?
 
Do suspension lift, much cleaner. Is it an auto or stick? I have 3.73s and dont mind it at all(with an auto), only hooked once and it was fine(minus no traction).
 
If you plan on pullin very much, get you some ladde bars, i pulled with 6'' and 37s, one hole year, and it did very well, never hopped either
 
I plan on doing like 30 pulls year, there's a lot in my area, the gears on the truck are 4.10 so IDK how the mpg will be but I'm assuming a 6" lift with 37's will be fun to pull with.
 
the truck on my trailer has 37" 3.73 g56 and makes 800hp with a 4in lift and he is #6 tranny

I've seen that truck on the internet before, awesome, but when I look at the gear chart in the sticky it didn't give too much info for running 37's. Should I just keep the 4.10's go to 3.73 or 4.88, I drive on the highway too!
 
I did a couple of pulls last year with a 6" lift on 35's. It did pretty good but I got alot of axle wrap. I would invest in some traction bars asap.
 
I would probably just stick with the 4.10 but that's I could help u with and definatly a set of beefy bars
 
How bad will my mpg be with 37's and 4.10's I'm gonna travel 60mi a day but I'll do a veggie conversion if its real bad?
 
4.10's are about perfect for DD with 37's, but pulling the 4.88's would be better. Like others have said, get some good traction bars because the more lift you have, the more the axle will wrap. Also, since your signature isn't filled out, what year are you talking about?
 
mine has a 6'' in front and 4'' in rear with air bags and a good set of traction bars. the 3.73s are fine with the 37s on the interstate in mine but around town alot you might wana stay with the 4.10s. note to the wise... dont attempt to pull a trailer or hook to a sled without traction bars.

How would the 4.88's react on the highway?

I don't know if you have checked or not or if you have a rule like this up there but around here some orginizations don't allow tires over a 35". Just a thought.
