Well I've finally came up with enough money to get my gear ratio changed... My truck has a 6 inch Rough county lift and I have kmc monsters with nitto terra grapplers in a 305/55/20 and I'm pretty sure the truck has 3.73 gears but I'm not sure if anyone knows what code to look for in the glove box that would help! But I wanna go up to the 4.11 and I'm having my local shop that does a lot of bigger trucks drivetrains hook me up. But would 4.11 be a good change for just mainly towing a trailer and just using the truck on weekends to cruise with and pulling our toys up north to go riding and here is a pic of my baby

Honestly the change from 3.73 to 4.11 won't be all that noticable. When I put the new axle in my truck I went from 3.73 to 4.10 and the only difference I noticed was that it didn't downshift on this one hill by my house anymore because the cruising RPMs were a little higher. If you ever plan on getting bigger tires like 35's I'd recommend stepping up to 4.56 gears. Truck looks awesome by the way!

Not going any bigger tires anytime in the future I like it just how it is... But would 4.56 be way too much for highway toy hauler ?

Yeah 4.56 would have you running pretty high higway RPM...best option for speedo and trans correction would be a custom chip from somewhere like tbichips.com. It'll also get you some good power and possibly mileage gains
