Default Gear Ratio change

Hey Guys and Gals,
Need some ideas, I have a 98 Ram with the 5.2 and 3.55 gears, I tow a 4400lb boat and thought of changing gears to 3.73, Any suggestions? I like to keep a good ratio in it when not towing, You know try to keep the gas mileage up a little.

What size tires?

If you're running (or plan on running in the future) 285/75r16 tires go with 4.10's. If you're running anything smaller, go with 3.92's.

Default LIfter Noise sound on 04 Hemi

I just installed a K & N cold air intake on my 04 Hemi Ram and now its making a sound like lifters rattling. K&N said it was a problem with the 04 Hemi. Has anyone heard about or experienced this, and if so what can be done about it?
