Question gear ?'s

okay, when it comes to gears I am a moron. I want to get 3.73's, but I have a few questions. When you do a gear swap, do you swap out all of your gears or just the 1st gear? and at about what speeds will I be shifting at with 3.73's?

Waht do you mean by the first gear. When you do a gear swap you will need to swap out your ring and pirnion. Along with your ring and pinion, you will need and installation. If you have an open differential you might want to change your carriier to a posi since it's already open. You will shifting at slower speeds if you are going from 3.42:1 to 3.73:1.
