Re: Gearing and tire opinion?

3.73`s a bit high.But,with TPI and a motor built for torque you`d get by.You won`t need to worry about power over 4,500 rpm,regardless.I`d want at least 4.10s since you`re towing.Figure with 4.10s and 35s you`ll be right about at 3.73 corrected ratio.You`ll be using granny to start the trailer rolling to save the clutch,I think.
