sorry i didnt see you had pulleys. there should be a tag on your differential that says what kind of gears you have. probably 2.73 or 3.08

Most people who still drive on the street go to 3.73 gears. But that is something that should be installed by a shop and including the price of the gears can run up to 500, depending on the shop.

I went with 3.55 just because the speedo is more accurate and I'm saving that little bit of gas. If you are having someone install them then you can expect some high prices for it since you should get the install kit and all that stuff. Also are you stick shift or auto? If you are stick then start working on traction. Some nice upper and lower control arms and subframe connectors. That will make you a lot more stiff and straight. If you want to get more power to the wheels a nice aluminum drive shaft would help. If you do go with the gears dont forget to get the speedo recalibration gear. If you get 3.73 it wont be to accurate and off py about 10 miles I heard with the 3.55 you will be much closer. You would need to 23 tooth gear also.
