Message:
A numerically lower axle ratio results in lower engine rpm and better fuel economy. A numerically higher ratio improves acceleration, climbing grades, carrying loads or pulling a trailer. It depends on what gears you have in there now I hear pro's and con's all the time and I personally think it's a waste of time.

Anything higher than 3.55 will be better for bottom end. I have 3.55 now and they are alright all around but for pulling I would go with 3.92 or possibly 4.10. My 2 cents.

what gears do you have now?

and what kind of driving do you do most
city or highway?

also a gear change isnt cheap unless you plan on doing it yourself

(you can also have a slight effect on final ratio by lower tire size)
