I know what you mean. Running those tires I would go with 4.56 gears.
There's a chart that shows you what rpm you'd be at with that tire/gear combo at highway speeds.
I'm at 2100/2200 RPMs at 70mph. I'd guess you would be at that range.

So I have a 3200 stall and it locks 4th gear at 40mph if I did 4.56 I would lock up sooner? Correct? Or stay the same?
