Looking at changing gears and don't wanna spend 3k+ on 4.56's so thinking I might go with 3.92's but have a few questions.

1. Dose the truck down shift much when coming to a hill or can it out its way up?

2. Will it do a burn out? No I don't do burn outs but it's a good way to judge if the truck will be lugging around a lot or will be fine.

Any help would be great

I had 33" tires with 3.92. I got a chirp off the line. Now, I have 35" tires with 3.92 and I lost my chirp.

I don't think 37" with 3.92 will give you a burn out brother. Then again, I don't have a custom tune.

I have 37's but I also have the 8spd and honestly could tell a slight difference but nothing that would make me remotely regret it and I'm stock tuner on the way

37'' tires, 3.92 gears and custom tune. Runs great, breaking the tire loose, but of course I'd changed to 3.92 if I hadn't ZF front axle. Too much headache for 2014+ RAMs

Im interested in this as well. I'm like you, my 3.55's work, but I'd like to make it a little easier on the motor/tranny and would also like to know anyone running 37's on a 5.7HEMI with a 6-speed.

Running 3.92 with 37's & 8 speed

when I first made the change to a 6" lift and 37" tires it was noticeable and the trucks acceleration was compromised. With some bolt on modes and the InTune i2 the truck preforms and accelerates better than with stock rubber and suspension.


Currently running the 93 octane HemiFever tune

1. It downshifts a little more than it use to. Don't have a whole lot of experience going up hill stretches with the 37's so I can't comment too much on that.

2. It'll do a burnout easy......after it rains. Again, it's noticeable but nothing horrible. I've even raced a couple cars....and won lol. Plenty of get'up and go for me.

No tuner. 6speed

Guessing when you say it'll burnout easy after a rain your using no break at all just throttle?
If you wouldn't Mind taking a video of just driving around town that would would be great to give us a good idea

Haha ya, I'm not doing any brake stands. Mainly just cause it was wet outside. Although, I've never tried doin a brake stand either.

As for video, it'd be pretty boring. Not really any hills but I'll see if I can get some of a stand still launch or gettin on the freeway.
