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,...

I think this is a good idea OP. Seems every answer on this forum ends with get a 3/4 Ton. Gets really really old.

Others never learn.
Just about everyone here started out with less TV than ideal.
Most of us learned along the way, and no longer do that.
I still have serious doubts about the OPs ability to successfully change his own gears. His knowledge base doesn't seem to be that of someone that has done it, or anything approaching it before.
I appreciate your input. I get it. I needed a HD truck for my previous set up so I bought one. I would just like to see more troubleshooting the issue at hand than for the immediate response of get a 3/4 Ton or 1 ton (unless it’s appropriate, example...most fivers need HD trucks and is a plausible recommendation to up-truck).
There are plenty of HD truck owners on here that have issues with their set up too.
Would swapping gears to 4:10 or 4:30 be an improvement for the OP...yes it would. That answers his question IMHO.
Long term, I think you are right. Most who tow heavy eventually go to a heavy truck...makes sense.
Thanks,
