I've got stock 3.73s and have had my 35s on since I got the tranny rebuilt, no issues so far. The only time my truck feels slow is after I drive my buddies 2012 Tundra with stock size 20s and P rated tires. His truck also has 4.30s and a good bit more horse power than mine so theres a reason it feels faster.

I also tow a 6x12 enclosed trailer for my property maintenance company and I don't feel I need anymore low end grunt.

You may want to do a "search" on here. There are a bunch of threads that discuss this. I have 4.56's/35's in/on mine and I can't imagine going to anything else at this point. I love mine.

What's your RPMs at 75 mph?

I second that.... Especially with the long gears of the 4r75E.

4.56 is what you need. It corrects the final drive ratio back very close to factory, actually a little better. Look for 2200-2400 rpms at 75. Had mine in for over a year and should've done them many years ago.

4.56 on 35's is the same as 4.10's on 33's.

Yukon is a pretty good brand.
