Apparently you don't know the inner workings or physics of the inside of a transmission. Just dropping a gear doesn't do anything other than make you spin more rpm and at a lower speed. With still the same output at the rear axle. If you change the rear axle ratio you will effectively change each ratio in the transmission. Not going to get into it here, but that's exactly how it works.
I'll try to explain this way:
If I put a 2:1 gear reducer behind the 7.3 gas without telling you, guess what the engine now puts out?
430hp @ 2750 rpm (5500 divided by 2), and 950 lb-ft torque @ 2000 rpm.
Do you think the truck will magically tow better?
