I put 3:73 front an rear on my 86 K10. Major difference. Completely different truck for the better and I still cruise at 75 ish on the highway and can easily pull one of my 2600lb trailers.

I have 4:11 front and rear with 31 inch tires but I have an O/D 4th gear on my manual transmission.
It was changed from 3:08 when the speed limit was 55 MPH.
Its the perfect setup for hauling wood and plowing but not for long distance highway travel.

Around here you should reply with "Sh!tcan it, quickchange swap it"
Older members will understand. Trust me, it's the correct response

I KNOW you must add a large, external, transmission cooler to that 700R4. I would also add the bigger bottle of Lucas Transmission Conditioner at that time too.
Finally, you will be better equipped to tow with a 3.42 rear axle ratio IMHO.
