Gears... Stock to a 4.88 i think its called
I have stock gears now, Im putting on a lift and getting anywhere from 35s to 37s should i change my gears? im a noob when it comes to anything with a truck so im not sure the advantages/ disadvantages plus i hate it when i try to light them up only one wheel spins is this due to the gears also? any help would be greatly apreciated

gears determine how hard your engine has to work to get your tires moving. It's just like a bike, go hop on one and try to start pedaling in 10th gear, then try it in 1st. the gear at the pedal stays the same (engine) it's the gear at the wheel thats different. if you have to spin the pedal say 10 times to make the wheel spin once it's easier than having to spin the pedal 1 time to get one wheel rev. PS if you regear you will run higher RPM's (not much maybe 300) at most speeds. but it's healthier for your engine, and your legs if you have the right gears to get you moving. and yes you will have better acceleration because it will take less effort to move the beast that is your truck
