Nice looking truck, I've always been a long box fan.
After I seen that you installed 35" tires I ran a few numbers. I compared your 35" to my 31.5" 245/75/17 tires. When comparing rpms your truck running 4.30 gears and mine rinning 4.30s you have a effective ratio of 3.87 and to get the same power to the ground that I do with smaller diameter tires you would need 4.78 gears.

I don't tow a ton. I have a 12k toy hauler and a 8k (fully loaded) race car trailer. The gear options on these trucks is kind crappy. My F450 6.4 came with 4.88. That is what I would have liked. But begged can't be choosers. I knew before I ordered it, it would a little different than my 6.7. I will just Five star tune it and put an iron lung on it to compensate. Lol.
