diff gear ratio

on the low side, thats what most came with stock, the off-road editions came with 4:10s and like mine has a rarer 3:92 stock. if you would put 4:10s in ur truck you would be like omfg! what gears basically do is help you get into the powerband faster and stay closer to it as you drive. higher gear ratio will make you run higher rpms at cruisin speeds also.

congrats on having the 2500 with a dana 60 axle. it gives you lots of options including selectable lockers, etc.
i'd call a 3.55 gear a middle to high gear, meaning that it provides best gas mileage but sucks at towing or hauling loads or big tires.
i'd call a 4.10 - 4.56 a low gear. very good for towing or hauling or big tires.
4.88 would be super low, good for towing with big tires.

wow, they really made a 3/4 ton w/ 3.55's?
Where is the advantage in even having a 3/4 ton with that? I mean, it's beefier and all, and the frame would handle more tow while the suspension handle more load- but the dang thing would struggle mightily without either the engine (diesel) or gears (4.10) over what a 1/2 ton is rated for, right?
Man.. If I were buying a 3/4 or 1 ton gasser, there isn't any way I would consider it w/o at least 4.10:1's..
I had no clue they actually made 3/4 tons w/ 3.55's.. that's silly imo..
