Changing the gears in my suburban
I have decided to change the gears in my suburban (2008 5.3L 4sp auto), but not sure how much of a change to make. I currently have 3.73 gears, and was thinking 4.30 because 4.10 doesn't change much,...

What size tires are you running? I have seen anything from 4.10 to 4.88 work well depending on ones tolerance for revs.
Anyway, ignore my previous. Two wheel drive, and if you can do it yourself... easy and cheap enough to try.
I also know that 2wd subs aren’t super hot on the used market. So you would need to toss much more money at the problem to get a newer rig.
Here’s an idea. Can you pull a full 14-bolt from a Silverado 2500 and drop it in? Lots of those went out with 4.10s. By then you are stuck with mismatched lugs.
Keep us posted on your progress.
