Yeah, her truck will cruise along happily at 15-1600 RPM on the road with 31s. It feels like it is not as happy over 2000, but it rarely gets there. We are planning on 33s with no re-gearing. I think it will be fine.

I have some 4.10s sitting in my shop now that I plan on swapping into my 96. I am running 33's and might eventually go to 35's but not sure yet. How well would that do in my truck with a 351/auto? It is mainly a daily driver/boat hauler.
