Default New drivetrain setup questions

The new plan is to run 4.56 gears and a 32" tire daily. 305/50/20.

I used to run 4.88s with this tire. Switched to a 265:50:20 and hated the hwy. It was not bad with the 32s however.

Will I need a dual driveshaft setup?? I want to take it to some high speeds when possible. I already have an aftermarket shaft

Now that I have 3.73 I installed for the smaller tire. Now I am back with 32" tire back on it. It's gutless like I am too low Rpms. I think like 18-1900 at 70mph. Makes it hard to pass on hwy. with the 3200 stall.

I was planing to do the 4.56 gears matched to a 32" tire and possibly 2 really short driveshafts for stability. My wheelbase is shorter than a rcsb pickup. Lol
