I wouldn't worry about the 2nd overdrive. One overdrive is enough. You have a tall tire compared to many as well.

I'd say something in the high 3's if it were me... a 3.70 or 3.89.
3.89 is the other option I was considering. Thanks for the input, all the "on paper" stuff looks good but it's the actual experience that I'm looking for and appreciate in helping me decide. Here is the same chart, except with a 3.89, will the 3.89 make 6th completely unuseable? I would like to maximize the benefit of all the gears, otherwise why go through the trouble of getting this transmission to fit?
