Hey everyone,

I'm about to start a build on my 2014 Ram Laramie 4x4. I'll be installing a Zone 6" and am looking to upgrade my tires and wheels. I'm torn between 35x12.50x20 or 37x12.50x20's. Im reading a lot saying that there can be significant power loss when going to the 37's unless I re-gear. I BELIEVE I'm running 3.92's right now but I need to find out for certain. Assuming I have 3.92 as opposed to 3.21, is it still necessary to re-gear to 4.10? Any thoughts as well as cost to re-gear would be appreciated! Thank you!

I'm running 37s on 3.55s. Dogged it down some, but I don't expect to have a lifted race car.

3.92 to 4.10 is hardly worth the effort. If you have 3.92's, and are breaking 'em open, go 4.56. I'm running 35's with 4.56 gears, and it's a BIG help.

I don't believe you can regear the 13+ rams yet. With the 3.92 rear end you'll see a hit but it won't be that bad.

I've heard this too, gears don't exist for the front diff from what I've read.

Thanks for all of the info! I confirmed that I do in fact have the 3.92's installed. With that being said, am I going to run into any problems by going with the 37's instead of the 35's?

37's and 3.92s here too. Works fine for me, low end took a loss but with a tuner it helped out a lot. I wouldn't waste the money to re-gear, but that's just my opinion.
