it really depends on how high you want to lift it and what size tires you want to run. i have 7 inches of lift on my 1996 and i run 38 in swampers for mudding and 35 in bfg a/ts for normal driving. there are charts online you can find by googling gear ratio charts and it will tell you what gear set up will work best with the size tires you want to run. I run 4.56 gears front and rear just for information.

What gears should you change to for 2006 f-250 fx4 with 37 12 18 tires truck has stock gears and trans?
depends on whether you are an offroader or a poser. for real offroad use- get 4.88s, its lower than even the stock 3.73s relative to the original tires. for poser street use- leave them alone, or have daddy shell out a grand for 4.10s or 4.56s

What should you change the gears to on a 1977 f250 4x4 351m400 auto trans with 36.5 12 16.5 tires old gears are 410s?
if u are going to wheel it hard then i would go with a taller gear (4.56 would be a good gear), but if its just a work truck, i wouldn't worry about it. those gears and tires would probably help with city gas mileage, if its a highway truck then i would go with a set of 3.73 or 3.55 gears. unless you have limited slips front and back, what's wrong with 4.10's? 4.11's on my F150, limited slips front and back, even with 35's was a little high. had plenty of power though. i wished i'd went to 3.90's, or even 3.73.

Yes, all vehicle tires have treads on them. Truck tires will usually have larger and deeper treads than regular sedans.
How do smaller truck tires affect the truck?
If you change your tyre size without switching out the rear end gears to compensate for it, you'll run lower speeds at higher RPMs (which gives you more pulling torque, but kills you on mileage and overall top speed), and your speedometer will show you going faster than you actually are (unless it adjust it to compensate for the smaller tyres).
Which online stores sell truck tires?

Get the Right Truck Tires?
When you are shopping around for truck tires, there are a number of brand names out there that will be vying for your attention. However, with the high cost of truck tires you really should take the time to look into generic truck tires as well. Not only are these tires often comparable in quality to their brand name cousins, but they are a fraction of the price. Since these tires are so expensive, every bit helps.
