Re: 3.42 to 3.73 swap
I wouldn't bother. Escpecially with a 35. IMO, i'd run 4.56's with 35's. If you're going to do it, do it, otherwise, do nothing, it's free lol.
= ( | 3.42 - 3.73 | / ((3.42 + 3.73)/2) ) * 100 = ( | -0.31 | / (7.15/2) ) * 100 = ( 0.31 / 3.575 ) * 100 = 0.086713 * 100 = 8.6713% difference

Re: 3.42 to 3.73 swap
You have the differentials. All it will cost you is time.

 Another way to look at it 3.73 is 9.1% more than 3.42, so RPMs at any given road speed will be 9.1% higher with the 3.73 gears.
