80mph is 5 over the interstate speed in KS, which is not uncommon. Calculator says ~2300 @ 80 with that setup.

Well I just want something better because it has a slow take off im between 4.30 or 4.56 because on my 2005 I went from 3.73 to 4.11 and I notice a better take off and mpgs were about the same and that was with 275/45 20 and that was on a ext cab ...since this is a 4dr I might try a bigger gear and see what happens since its a lil heavier

I was quoted 350/axle and that's providing my own gears and install kits.
