I'm running 36" tires with 4.30 gears. It's almost identical to stock in regards to speed vs. RPM's.

My truck came stock with 265/75r16's and 3.73's. In stock form, my truck would see 2000 RPM's at 70 mph. With my current setup, I see 2000 RPM's at 69 mph, so it's very close.

I'm looking to do this especially in my DD tunes where I don't care so much about power as I do no smoke and mileage.
Well, I did the opposite of what you are planning. Only because I struggled with the exact same thing for a long time, and finally took a different approach. For me, it's not the tires or gearing, it's the altitude. So it made my learning curve pretty tough to figure out fueling, smoke control, egt's, etc.

If you want, I can shoot you an email with some screen shots. I see you posted your email addy in the other thread. Would you be ok with me shooting you a message? I'd be glad to help you out.
