New Gears in the Rear for my 2004 !

I got a 03 4X4 with a 5 speed and I want to upgrade the rear end. I just wanted to see if any one has 3:73 or 4:10 gears in a truck like mine. I just want basic info on pulling power, take off, fuel use. My tires are 265/75/16's.

Thanks

If you have a 4x4, you have to regear both axles............

I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not, but you would be surprised how many people don't even think about this issue and assume you can change just the rear gears on a 4wd. You said that you "want to upgrade the rear end". Sure, you can do only the rear end, but you should pull the front driveshaft and use it as only a 2wd truck. If you put it in 4wd, you will break something expensive.
