Sorry don't mean to steel the thread but I'm racking my brain on this. I understand you statement, but I also plan on occationaly towing (no more than 3500lbs). Would this change your opinion on tire size and gears. I was under the impression that the teeth on 5.38's were to thin with 44's. Obviously I'm not towing in overdrive with an auto anyways, but trying to find the right mix that gives you the best of all applications, ie: offroad, daily driving & towing. Might be asking to much thought.
That said, get the gear set that's going to tip you by 2300 rpm at your highway speeds and the rest takes care of itself. Again, OD off is a huge part of not building things out to your tow specs.
