depends on this trucks intended use (gear selection is largely personal preference).
for rock crawling, you might go as deep as 5.13's....for good highway cruising, you might want something closer to 4.10's...

Depends on how much power you intend to make too but what matters more is what you are going to do with it.

I have two V8 Rangers...one 2wd 351W truck with 3.23's and 27.5" tires...this is an AWESOME cruising machine. Gobs of torque make the 3.23's a decent street gear. I had 3.91's and they sucked for cruisability...but that's just my opinion. Just felt like you were always leaning into the throttle to keep it rolling.
The other truck is a 1988 4wd w/ 302, 31" tires and 3.73's. It had 235's on it when first built...the gearing is much better with the taller tires. All I do with this truck is haul coal and wood. So it's short trips...usually only see's about 1K miles per year.
