    i think you would be around 2520rpm at 70mph with 28" tire 4.30 gears and about 2410rpm with 410s.

    its not a night and day difference, its an improvement. My truck came w/3.73's, im sure the guys that are swapping from 3.42's feel more of a gain. From a dead stop, It takes off better when you put it to the wood, driving around town feels the same, 70mph is 2,400 from 2,100. however, it will occasionally chirp second- but i also am ridin' dirty on the black ''16 spare. I make it beg for mercy all the time. Main thing is this truck doesn't make good power till 3,000rpm's a converter would complement these gears nicely. Maybe do a vid this afternoon
