Question What gear ratio

I plan on getting a 6 or 8 in lift for a 89 F150.
I plan on runnign at the minimum 35's but i would not go biger than 37's.

My pickup has a 5 speed manual transmission. It will have its fair share of highway driving. I would like it to run some where between 2000 and 2600 rpm at 60 to 65 mph.

I was thinking 4.10 but would 4.56 be to low geared?

Thanks for your oppinions

What gear ratio

Yes, you might be a bit on the high side with rpms and 4.56, but for all the around town stuff, youd love the grunt it gives you. Ive run 35"s and 4.10s, but it was with a C6, so its not quite the same. 4.10 is a good gear for 35 all in all.
