well 2.76 gear is fine on open flat highway, but for around here where I live in east texas we have lots of hills & low gears are a plus for me , I have had enough highway gears with the vehicles I owned in the past 75 318 duster w/2.76, 79 440 D150 w/2.94, 87 dakota 3.9L w/2.76, 81 D150 318 w/2.94, thats why my 98 ram 1500 5.9 mag has 3.91 & my 84 project has a 3.55 suregrip.
