    Hey guys, I know there are a few threads discussing the regearing process, but I just need some straight forward answers specific to my situation. I have a 2011 DBL cab Offroad with 325/65R18s and have noticed a serious loss in power and MPGs. I am hoping to regear to get back to the stock power and MPGs. Does anyone know what I should regear to? Has anyone done this with a similar setup? I want to say that my current gear ratio is 4:56 but I could be wrong...Please help!!

    That's a lot of rotational mass. You could try 4.88 but i doubt you would get much difference.

    allpro long travel, shackle flip with ome dakars, cruisin offroad bumpers and sliders, 4.88 gears with arb's front and rear, budbuilt skids.
    Your stock gears are 3.73, I would go with 4.56 if you see alot of highway, 4.88 if your more offroad oriented.
