Default 3.73 vs. 4.10

Which is better for a daily driver that wants pick up but also has to drive on ice and snow.


I was planning to get a t-lock at the same time in both cases.

Since ours are what, 3.31s? I think 3.73s are the best way to go for DD. 4.10s would be a huge change, maybe too much for some. IMO it would 3.73s

the lower the numbers the more daily driver-ish they are.... 4.10's would be beastly....

Once you get used to 3.73s I guess 4.10s would be the next step

There are some for our 7.5 rear, T-Lok is optional but, what good is a car that does a one wheel peel? LOL

are you going F/I? if not, get the 4.10s. I've went from 3.31s to 4.10s to 3.73s; i could really feel the difference in the 4.10s. and it didnt kill my gas mileage like i thought they would. I've only had the 3.73s on for 3 days so i havent stood on them yet, but i was very happy with the 4.10s for the month i had them (perfomance wise, at least. i had horrible gear whine which is why i swapped again).

very pleased with my 3.73s. all depends on what type of driver you are and what type of driving you want to do.
