Gear ratios and tire size question......

My engineering mind tells me that if you have a 4.10 ratio and would like a little higher final drive ratio a slight increase in tire height would solve that issue as long as you didn't get carried away. If stock is 30-31ish would moving up to a 33 help as long as it wasn't an aggressive tread?

Just curious

That is true. I have a wheel speed calculator I can email you if you want it. It will show you wheel speed at a given RPM, axle ratio, gear ratio and transfer case ratio.
