3.73 gears??


Im planning on getting new rear end gears, thinking about 3.73 gears but not sure. I was also wondering about what rep my tach will be at in 5th going 60-65, because thats about the speed i travel at everyday about 30 miles a day, so i dont want it to cost me more in gas and what the top speed would be. plus I dont know if i should get it installed professionally or try and do it myself.
