The 4.43 says 20% lower ration then stock
- the 4.14’s are about 14% lower -

I have no problem on highway- at 2800 rpm I’m doing 68-70. And when you let off gas - you can feel the truck speed wind down Very slowly. Low on trail is real low & nice IMO. Really dont need 1st with this ratio which makes 2nd a nice crawl pace in my terrain.

I was running stock 3.5 with these tires and found I was constantly using 3rd as I drive around town. And shift points were very clearly not right - it’s nice to have low end back.

I have had intentions of going to a 35’s which was a motivation for the 4.43 - and the difference in pinion gear for strength was my deciding factor. With some drawers and overland gear my truck is weighing probably 7-7500lbs
