3.55s that you probably have now won't be bad with the 265's. If you wanted to keep the 285's, 4.10s wouldn't be too bad. Of course, it isn't exactly cheap......

what is a good company to get the ring and pinion from? 4.10 gears should turn the 265s even better right?

Yep, they will. You will like it.

Randy's Ring and Pinion is a good source.

How do you think those will work out on the highway with 265/75/16 tires?
