Keep the gears.
I have 3:73 gears but I want to change to something in the low 4s and add a locker when I can afford it. I pull a flatbed with a bobcat and a three horse living quarters trailer. I live in Colorado, lots of hills and the speed limit is 65 most places. Problem is, with the 3:73s the engine wants to shift all the time at 65. I can't build boost and get any power until I shift and get some RPMs, and then by the time I get back up to speed it's in overdrive again. At 75 things are okay, the turbo is much more responsive and you shift less but it really wants to go faster. I'm not comfortable going 80+ in a horse trailer with three horses. I'd need way bigger brakes for all the brake-checking a**holes.
