Gears/rpms/speed
I recently purchased a used 2006 F150 FXR, it has 35x12.5x20 tires (door sticker says stock were 275x55x20) . Is there a way to tell if the gears have been changed based on speed/rpm? What is approximate difference in size of stock to aftermarket tires?

Stock 275/55/20's = 31.9".

If you know what tire size you have and you know what rpms your are at at a given speed you can out that in the speed rpm calculators that come up on Google. It will give you the gear ratio. It will be your transmission ratio in that gear tones your differential ratio.
The alternative is jack up the rear end and spin the tire. One revolution of the tire should be x turns of the Driveshaft. X being your gear ratio.
