3.73 with 33's ??
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.

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.

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".
