Agreed about the gearing. We know that 4.30s would be best for that much weight, but not for going cross country all the time. That extra 200 rpm is alotta money over time. And 4.30s are twice the cost..... I just ordered the Rickson dually to single conversion rear wheels. Will save 150lbs of rotating mass, as well as lessen the drag of the rubber to the road. Should pay itself off in improved fuel mileage in 6mos. I love this truck and I haven't even registered it yet lol.
