If you have 3.55s you won't see much difference with 3.73s.........go 4.10. you won't be disapointed!!!

The gears are 150.00 and the install is 200.00 plus...........( I do not recommend it if you have not done it before). The oil and friction reducer is another 30.00 and if you want you speedo to work you need a new gear (around 15-20 bucks) unless you put the electronic speedo (89.00)..............there worth every $$$$$
