I need a new rear gear, might as well plan ahead now instead of buying twice.
3.73's here, and I've talked to two other people with the same setup, and they say it's perfect to run 3.73's and one wasn't happy with 4.11's

See my signature, several pages of buildup with pictures.

68-s-s is right - expect to pay at least 6k including the drivetrain, and this doesn't include the work involved.
