Default gears????

I am about to order my rims this week and I am looking for some suggestion on what might be the right gears set up. I'm either getting moto metal M0962(20x9) or fuel offroad throttle(20X10) with 305/55/20 grapplers. I do alot of highway driving an lil towing, not much. I am also waiting for my SCT to get here. Any suggestion???

3.73? If your running 33-35 tires stick with the 3.73 for all the highway driving, unless you go with a 4.10

What does the sticker on your doorjamb say under axle code? Those tires are only about 33, so you more than likely will not need a thousand dollar or more regear.
