With 3.08 gears and an open posi, it was hard to spin one tire. With 3.73 gears and a posi, the tires can be spun at will.

What force increased that now overcomes the resistance of two tires by changing gears?

The horse power did not change, nor did the engines foot lbs of torque rating at the flywheel. But the torque at the back axle has most definitely changed.

So yes, gears change torque.
