So im looking to swap out gears in my ranger, and not sure what would be best.
I currently have 3.27's

Was curious to who knows about gears, what gears would be best for what

what would be best for towing?
what would be best for "get up"? (speed/ picking up speed)
what would be best for fuel milage?
and so on and so forth

like 4.10, 3.27, 3.55,...etc just trying to learn more about gearing

please help me out
 
4.10s or 4.56's but Im going to warn you, it's expensive as hell. I have just over $1000 in my rear axle alone.
 
There isn't really a "best" as it all depends on what you want. 3.73 and 4:10's are the most popular by far and some like 3:90 for a compromise. I would avoid Motive brand gears though, they can be a real pita to shim in. Personally I'd suggest 4:10 gears as the truck will wind up a lot quicker and have better low end grunt for towing.

G2 or Yukon gears ONLY. G2 are the cheaper ones, easy as hell to set up, and very quiet. I would personally go 4.10s if your'e sticking with 33s. Grab a 4.10 L/S Explorer disc brake axle outa the JY, weld on your spring perches and shock tabs and slap that baby in there. Then All you have to do is regear the front. You'll have about $500 in the rear and another $450 up front, which is fairly cheap.
