3.73's with an auto and 26" (stock size) tire won't trap you that high...if you're shifting around 6400 rpm..you will fall slighly short of that at the traps. a 27" tire and 4.10 gear would put you right there.

I have talked to a handful of tech guys and they all say that stock lifters will be fine. Might want to take a look at them and make sure the rollers are not worn when you pull it apart though. I went ahead and bought brand new stockers. Stay away from the infamous Comp "R" ones
