Ryan,
Again, gear ratio is going to be determined by the RPM range of the engine (mainly camshaft spec), and the size of the tires.
Try here:

That will get you in the right area...
If you were running a 4BT, ZF5 and 33" tires you would need 3.55 gears
If you were running a 4BT, NP435 and 30" tires you would need 2.45 gears.
If you were running a 360, NP435 and 30" tires you would need 3.25 gears
If you were running a 460, ZF5 and 33" tires you would need 5.13 gears.
Run the calcs yourself, play with the variables, and then decide what YOU want to live with.
Good Luck!
Eric
