That's a good point. Or if the OP ends up unsatisfied with an excessively taller rear-end for such engine, maybe resorting to smaller wheels and tires like some Japanese and Korean trucks which have smaller rear wheels in some versions is another option to consider, as a smaller diameter of the wheels would equate to fitting a shorter gearing, and eventually would save some weight too...
