But if you want more traction add more weight to rear with a locking rear end.
I do not think lower gear rear end will help on traction.

i forgot to say that the existing 8.5" 10-bolt already has a posi-traction unit. I agree that the lower gear (3.73) will only make the tires spin more. I am throwing that in there to improve acceleration. Problem is I can't accelerate if the tires just go round and round and the car just sits there smoking.
