I am getting to the point of doing more serious off roading. I have found that it might be a good idea to install a little larger tire size on my rig. My truck has plenty of engine horsepower with the stuff i have added but my problem is getting power to the wheels (spinning on steep inclines). Lately I've been thinking about getting new gears. Right now they are 4.30 but I've been thining about going to 4.88s or the next one up. Has anyone out there had experience with gearing down there 4 cyl? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

Wheel spin can occur due to lack of traction, so you have to specify: is the problem due to this lack of traction, or because you're not geared low enough and you have to get on it to keep momentum?
The first one is a tire/locker/driving style issue, second is gears.
