Depends on several things, but we have had several combinations, and have settled in on 3:56 rears with 24.5 lo-pros tires, 13 speed trans, and a C-15 in front. If you are not usually going to be on a freeway, or if you have stand-up 24.5's I would suggest 3:70's. If you are only pulling from the field to the bins, 3:90's would be fine, but that means the engine will need to run close to 2000 rpm at 65 mph if you ever need to go there.

Depends on your transmission. I run 3.90 with 22.5 and run 1500 at 65. If I had a pick it would be 3.90 or 4.10 with tall 24.5 tires. We run one truck with 4.56 and 24.5. It's great for in feild and around the yard.
