You might want to give more details. I see you have a 4.7, is it stick/auto, what tire size do you plan to go with (if you plan on changing in the future), what kind of driving you do (any off-road), Body/bed?

Hey it's an automatic. I wanna run 285s on tire size maybe but I have 265s on it now. and I do some off road driving mostly dirt road and I've taking it to the dirt track a few times. I'd like to turn be able to take it to the track one day. I'm working on putting a new intake manifold, headers, and also a larger throttle body. I've already run a cold air intake. Its also short wheel based

If you don't do a whole lot of highway driving, 4.56's with some form of locker or limited slip. If you do, then 3.92's.

Limited slip and 3.92 gears would be plenty for that. Mine with 35's pulls out easy and launches pretty good.
