Charts like this one are great for figuring out what ratio to go with.

I went from 3.73 to 4.56 and didn't look back.
I drive around town once a week just to keep things fresh, but it never sees the freeway unless it's hauling a load.

Non of the above reasons, I'm running factory size tires, I live in the DFW area so no mountains here, but I do tow every so often. I did it for a snappy truck, performance reasons only, gas mileage isn't all that different from the 4:10's I used to have.
