You should buy the stock wheels off my truck and and put 235 65 17 tires or may be a little taller like 255 65 17s

I would say 3.42, 3.55, or 3.73 at the most. I think the 4.10 will give you too high rpm and drink gas. I would stay in the 3.42, 3.55 range. This will also cover you with larger tires. If yo are staying stock size then 3.23 or so.

ive been thinkin a good ratio would be 3.73s but i didnt know if this would be to high or not. plus i know each one is going to have its advantages and disadvantages, just wanting to go through all of those to kinda narrow the choices down.
