what does the truck have at its sweet spot, and what would that be at in say my truck, 3.55 w/ 33s

sweet spot is your torque peak

RE: RPM levels with diff size tires
yea thats what i thought it was but if thats where your torque peaks, whats so good at being at that spot, because if you accelerate any more won't you be out of that spot and no longer be at the max in the powercurve? and doesnt high torque = better acceleration, but if you accelerate, your no longer in there. idk

for me, my sweet spot seems to be at like 2-3k. if i were to throw 410s in there like i may be planning, i would think it would jump to 3-4.5k.

The torque peak doesn't change, unless you change something (like the cam) in the motor. Most stock 5.9 gassers peak about 2500-2700 rpm.
Gears do all the things mentioned above. I like to call them torque multipliers. Thats why you accelerate quicker with lower gears. You also can stay in the engines sweet spot, allowing the best use of your motors combustion.
Just like cams, you can over do gearing too. But that's another story.
BTW research is showing that Computer controlled vehicles are more easily adjusted for large tire/high gear combinations than most people think. There's a couple different devices. One is Superlifts Truspeed, the other other is a jet product. Like programmers, they can change the computer to compensate for tire size. Unlike a programer, they also reconfigure the ABS system. Both programers and these items will cause the computer to readjust igniton curves and fuel injector timing. as well as shift points.
Superlifts product aloows very fine adjustments, and can actually be switched between two different tire sizes.
