Yup. Go to 4.88's

Your stock axle ratios are 4.10:1. When you put larger tires, you effectively raised your gear ratio and you now need a numerically higher ratio to compensate. 4.88:1 is the lowest available for our trucks and the most popular and best option for 4 cylinder trucks. Any less will not justify the money spent.

Your best bet would be to contact an offroad or axle shop in your area and have them price the swap. Mechanical inclination isn't enough as specific knowledge and tools are required, so avoid shade tree guys. I'm assuming you're 4wd, in which case you will have to do the front and rear axles. If a Prerunner, you'll only have to do the rear.

Of course, you could decrease you tire size and gain back a little pep, but what's the fun in that? Also be aware of your wheel and tire weights. The 2.7s are good engines but not powerhouses. Every little bit of extra weight hurts, especially rotational mass.

 

very helpful thanks a lot
