The trailer's probably in the 3000-5000# range depending on whether it's holding one or two horses.

We talked about this in another thread, and 3.90 gears (which probably don't exist) would give him the same effective gear ratio as stock. 4.10 gears would be plenty big enough.

But, he'd need to replace both the rear and front set - pretty expensive. I don't think I'd do it unless I saw that the transmission was really having trouble. However, I'd sure get a customized tow tune for the actual load pulled.
