I use the truck to go work and occasionally take it off road (sand/mud/hardpack).
I don’t plan on towing, maybe a jet ski but nothing to heavy

OK, first off, this is the 5th Gen Forum (2019+)

Secondly, you can't go too high on a secondary gear ratio (unless you care about Top Speed or MPG).

Third, since you have a '14 I don't know if you have a 6sp or 8sp. If you have a 6sp DEFINITELY change up. If you have an 8sp - depends on your expectations..

I have reviewed thousands of transactions. The only ones that have gone south are the ones where the expectations of the consumer were not met.

Missed this point. How happy are you with this? It's subjective - some would be unhappy with 2.72s and others would be unhappy with 5.92s.

(gear ratios picked at random...)

And for those that claim those ratios are neither available nor possible, I maintain - anything is possible (message me with proof to the contrary if you dare - I passed 3rd grade with flying colors).
