I would think that gears would be ok only up to 35" tires after that you start to loose the power band and mileage starts to drop off. but that's just me and my math I might be wrong.

OP nice looking truck!

I thought that too,
it was posted the stats between the gears, because of our 6spd trans
there wasn't much difference......

Ive already changed throttle response by putting my K&N 63 series kit on...
the 34" I have on...don't even notice a difference...in fact it got better with the K&N, it has no dead spot now and feels like Our FX4 we have with the 5.4 snappy and lights the tires up if you want
