Which gear ratio?

With only a 25" tall tire, the 3.55 will be good. However, if you ever plan on going taller, the 3.73 or 3.91 would be better.

We are planning on going bigger but need to swap the front spindles due to the front still having the lame 5 on 4 bolt pattern.

That being said 3.73 gears might be a good compromise? Also, would this be a night & day difference coming from 2.5x gears?
