Gear set question

Ok boys,
New question. I have a 1992 1/2 F-350 4x4 Crew with 3.55 gears and 33 inch tires. I would like to get a bit more kick for I am in the mountains, the 3.55 works great on the flats but I dont live down there. So I guess the question is 3.75 or 4.10? What do y'all think, toss it out there.

Re: Gear set question

If your running empty, the 3.75 will work well. If your towing a lot, I would go with the 4.10s. The problem is just the gears and master rebuild kit for two axles will easily run $800 without labor. At that point your half way to a used turbo kit and about the same amount of work.
