With that stall you could probably get by with a 224/228 or 228/228 range.

That stall will allow a good size cam. I like an exhaust bias on cathedral heads. I think something around 224/228 or 226/230 healthy lift and a LSA112.

I'm looking for a cam as well.

Crew cab 2wd 3.73 with a TB stall (2600?) and some HEAVY *** 22's

Planning a 6.0 swap with .030 milled 243s (10.5-11:1?)

I've really been eyeballing the cam motion stage 2 but wonder if I'm leaving anything on the table. I really want it to be the best "truck" it can be. It's not my hotrod.

If you dont want to lose alot of towing ability and want to keep the rpm band below 5500. I would not look for anything more than 215 @ .050.
