Increasing gear ratios
What's the easiest (read cheapest) way to increasse my gears ratios? I've got a ton of torque and fairly low gears, so I think it would help my mpg. The problem is I have a 4x4, otherwise, I'd be looking at a rear axle swap or differential regearing. If I did that, I'd have to also regear the transfer case and just the thought of that seems prohibitive. I wouldn't be opposed to putting bigger wheels on it, but it's got 15" rims with fairly tall tires already (265/70R15s, I think; I know, horrible mileage killer right there!), so I think I'd have to go to a bigger rim and I really don't want to $4k for a 10% higher ratio. Any other ideas, suggestions?
