I am a newbie and could use some advice.

What issues will I have, if any with a 3.73 axle and 33s with 6 spd manual on stock 2012?

Will I see a significant decrease in performance ? Will I have issues with daily driving?

Thanks

No issues, I've been running that setup for years and it's my DD. You'll want to recal your speedo, it'll probably be off by a few mph. I do regret not making the jump right to 35s, but that's another story and generally requires a few other mods.

You should be fine with that set up

Awesome ! Thanks

I will be getting some wheels/tires this weekend.

Yeah, with the 6 speed you are golden. Same setup I am running.
Auto different story....

What tires are you getting...just out of curiosity?

I haven't decided yet, I would like a on/offroad tire because I do use it as my daily.

I hear ya, I had MTZ's on my 08 and they hold up well on the road and are great off road.
I have the GY duratac now and they are noticeably quieter on road, but I haven't been off road with them yet.
They aren't nearly as aggressive though.

What are you talking about?

Running 33" Duratracs with 3.73 and an Auto....its perfect in a 2012....fantastic on and off road.

Its funny to listen to people, you are always gonna get the "You should regear" crap, regardless of gear/tire combo. There is a chart somewhere that breaks down tire/gear ratios for auto/manual transmissions, and 33"s with the 3.73 are right in the middle of "ideal".

Good to hear... I should be fine then.
