I have a 23Lt Megalite Extreme toy hauler that is 4500 dry and under 8000 loaded....i have a 2006 FX4 with 5.4, 3.73 gears tow package....thinking of putting in the 8" RIZE lift....with 37 x 13.50 tires.....I live in British Columbia and travel the Rockies once and a while....am i going to be able to tow my trailer still....suggestions and recommendations are essential, thanks.....

 

i would put some 4.56 or 4.88 gears in it. then it should be ok.

 

Regear.


Going to 37's, you should probably regear to 4.56 even if you weren't going to do any towing. You might even consider 4.88's if they are available for your axles.


Edit...dodge slayer was a little faster and posted while I was doing my pathetically slow typing.

 

I posted under his other post under towing and hauling. 4.56 with 37s is the equivalent as I am with 4.1 and 33s. I struggled through the Rockies with about 8500# enclosed car trailer. 4.88s would be about the same as his 3.73s with stock tires. I'd go into the 5.2ish and even then I would expect some 40 mph climbs.

 

thanks for the input....thanks....
