my tars are 275/45/20. Like em pretty good.
The only thing i miss is how long i could stay in 2nd gear. 2nd only lasts to about 75 now but on the plus side, 3rd gear pulls a lot better than it did before.

Motive had a bad run of gears about 5 years ago and had a recall on them. I set up a bad set for a buddy of mine. I have since set up 4-5 sets of them with no issues.

I'm running 4.56's with 305/40/22's and I turn about 2300rpm at 70mph so it's not too bad, however the down side for you may be that it's a pretty tall tire and the fact your truck looks to be pretty low, which may cause tire rub issues at or close to lock. Also the larger tires will be somewhat heavier than something shorter that you were probably going to run with the 4.30's.

Good thing is you can get AAM gears in a 4.56 ratio.
