5.13's on stock rubber?
anyone running higher gears on tock rubber? I'm not happy with how long the gears are with the 3.73. I'm also not really into top speed (altho I'd like to be able to go 120) my main thing is acceleration. so I'm thinking about 5.13's since I do very little highway driving. (I'm always doing 100 if I'm on the highway anyway) so mpg isnt a concern at all

Talk to bhf150, his name is Brian. He's running 4.88's on stock rubber and a procharger setup. I've been in his truck but have not driven, he'll be able to tell you more.
