I don't think you're gonna like the small change in rpms when going from a 4.11 to a 3.73.... sounds like a bigger waste of money than if you'd gone with the 700R4.... save up for the trans instead, you'll be glad you did...

I've got to agree with the other guys. 10% just isn't enough for what it will cost. I'd go with the taller tires and keep saving the nickels and dimes for the 700.

Look into these guys if you already have a good tranny and you want lower RPM's.
