Default what gears to go with ?? help

im rolling on a 35' tall tire (35/12.5/17)
6.0 turbo (76mm)
4l80e stock verter.
truck weighs about 3200lbs


usually, its what.. 4.56 or 4.88

now stock48. said go with 4.10's to stay spooled all the time.

what do you guys think would be the best for my truck. i need street friendly gears still since i will be driving it regularly. looking for mild performance out of this set up with 10lbs of boost.

So it is just going to mostly be a street truck? I agree with 4.10's considering the 35" tire.

Yeah, anything 3.73-4.10 should work for a 4L80E with that tire size.

Companies sell 33"-36" drag tires, but your biggest concern is weight. How much does your setup weigh?
