In my case, 4.10's with 28" tires at the track is just about right. Those of us with Maggies don't spin to nearly 7000 rpm like you do. I shift at 6400. Then I'll run my 31.5" tires on the street & not kill my mpg.
BTW, your truck is badass Skeet.

I seriously don't understand how these threads have all this advice on what gear ratio to run when no one even knows or posts the tire size. How can a gear ratio be recommened when the most important informaton (tire size) is left out?
With that said, a good all around gear for performance/daily driveability goes as follows.
28" = 3.73's
29" = 3.90's
31" = 4.10's
33" = 4.56's
That's a good ball bark gear for your original question.

Right now I'm running 255/70/16 I believe that is a 30.1" diameter. When I get new wheels and tires I may run a slightly taller tire. Thanks for the advice, I should've posted tire size first.

I think you'd be very satisfied with 4.10's with that combo. I wouldn't choose any other gear.
For you Julien 6.40's and 37's still won't get your low compression pig moving. I'd recommend a 7.90. 7.90 revolutions to 1 tire rotation will really help wake her up!
