2012 with 3.73 Max Tow and BFG 37 MTRs - Sluggish or no?
I was wondering if the 3.73s in a max tow equipped 2012 sport would be sufficient to turn a "lighter/smaller" set of 37s, like the Kevlar BFG MTRs.
Been flirting with the idea of a Rubi with the 4.10 ratio but for what I do, im not really sure if I need one. I just really love the look of 37s, and I hate be one of those guys I see post they wish they put on 37s after they installed a set of 35s.
Can anyone here enlighten me on how they think the response would be on the new automatic tranny? Keep in mind this would be my DD, even though I kind of have the idea I would have to go up to the 4.10s at very minimum to run 37s I would like to see if anyone has experience doing it yet.
Thanks in advance

Keep in mind, not only does the Rubi have 4.10's available, (and lockers)..but it has the stronger front axle.

I have a 2012 automatic sport with 3.73's with 35" mtrs and I do not see any reason to regear - on highway it does not kick down a gear to pass. My 2011 with 5.38s with the same tires was a PITA to drive on highway compared to the 12.
