Hopefully the answer is not too obvious....
Why would you need to change the gearing?

Dwayne,
With the TC 5.5" and a 3" body lift (I strongly suggest Performance
Accessories) you will have no problem clearing 35s. I talked to TCs tech
line and they told me that people are running 35s with their lift alone,
although they didn't suggest it due to rubbing at moderate compression. I
then told them I already had the 3" body lift and they said I could go with
35s easy and maybe 36s if I wanted to. Fender trimming will not be
necessary
in my opinion. As for the gear ratio, Brent Mills is doing the susp
lift/body lift combo as well and has 4.56s. I am currently debating between
4.1 and 4.56. Your 3.92s MAY work, but it is up to you if the extra money
is
worth it. The new gears with install is going to run me around $825.00. If
you have any questions, please feel free to ask. BTW, what tires are you
planning on?
