i have but the cost is pretty steep $300ish to regear unless i got something out of a JY. i have 3.73s and would love 3.45s. which came in some Rangers in the 90s. the other option would be a 8.8" rear out of an explorer which also had the 3.55 option, though not particularly common, but that would add considerable weight.
I was running 235 70r16s for a year which was close to the 5% gear change i would see out of going 3.55. I didnt have any issues with bigger tire size so i cant imagine having an issue with a lower gear ratio either.
