Instead of hijacking the other gear thread:

I thought it best to start another with questions I have that may pertain to a SC'ed engine only.

Most of you have seen my vids:

Offroading with our friends:

With the SC I have never experienced any adverse offroad effects whatsoever. It's also important to note, we have a 2800rpm stall in the truck.

Now to the works of the thread. Gears.

Stock tire height and 4.56's work like running 33's with worse mileage. That's a given unless your truck is lifted with taller tires.

What I want is better acceleration and no ill effects to offroading. I don't care about mileage. So far, I have not realized any problems with the current setup.

John, in your best opinion, would a change to 4.88's work in this application? Maybe the crazy 5.13's? Or should I stay where I am?

Everyday mileage is not a concern, just raw acceleration and the ability to wheel is of the most importance.
