Been looking at new tires and wheels but I need to get a baseline for the new fuel logs. The plan was to swap in a complete rear end from a donor truck. It looks like a 3:27 is only available in an 8.8 and I'm not sure how much extra work that will be as compared to a 3:45 available in the same size/configuration as what is in there now. I'm still worried a 3:08 will be too tall for the times I do spend in town. My typical daily drive is 65 miles one way with 3 small towns along the way. Stop lights in each one of them. The remainder is all 2-lane blacktop at 55-60 mph and a 7 mile stretch each way at 65-70 mph.

I'm leaning towards the 3:45 unless someone can talk me into trying to fit an 8.8 under there with the 3:27.
