4.11:1 or 4.56:1 would be ideal for those final gears.

I've got 35s on my V3500 with a 4L80e.  I have 4.11s for gearing and I can say that I am on the fence about 4.56s.  I could easily go to them as my truck barely kicks into overdrive and then locks up the converter at about 65 MPH, but I do like the low RPMs on the highway at speed!  Food for thought Halogin13.

Take a pic of your rear axle.
