Gear Ratios
What an incredible site!
I have a 1994 F-150 SWB 300cid 5speed 4x4. I bought in June 01 and just put a leveling kit and new tires. I am curious how to tell and where to find what gear ratios in front and rear.

Welcome to FTE,
There is a sticker on the cab, just above the striker bolt on the driver’s side.
There is a code for the axel, give me the code and I’ll tell you what ratio you have.
Sounds like a nice truck, you should start up a user gallery.

3.55's would put you numericaly close to what you were stock, but to make up for the extra weight and rolling resistance of the larger tires, I would suggest 3.73's. If you have any intentions of going larger yet with your tires, plan for it now so if you "will need" lower gears, do it now. That is what I'm thinkin'. Good Luck and Welcome.
