You have the exact same tire setup as I do. Get 4.10s front and back; I looked into 4.30s for mine but no dice for 4x4 and they're not available for my 14-bolt, and 4.56s are a bit overboard for 33s on a DD imho. Those gears will make your truck feel a lot better. Then go for the converter. Will you be towing at all? Offroading? If so, stay conservative on the stall and get the multidisk Circle D for your 6L80E.

Yeah. I though about 4.10s the most. Yes I plan to off road a little when I can. Mostly city tho.
What's so great about a stall if I'm not at the track every weekend and also w no cam? Just curious I really don't know. Thought it hurt drivability

If you keep the stall rpm conservative I've heard that drivability stays pretty much the same and fuel mileage only will suffer a little, but acceleration gets a lot more snappy due to the engine getting into its powerband a lot more quickly. However, I think you want to to get your gears situated first; that will really change the attitude of your ride.

I have 33.20 overall diameter tires in my 08 CCSB. 4.8. I got 4.10's and a circle D 3200 with vette servo and tru cool. It is my DD 27 miles one way to work with about 18 being in the city. Love the gears and the converter. While cruising it sounds as if the truck is struggling to move u til I hit 35-40mph. The shifts are real quick, barely feel them. From the whole shot is a different story. Off the line it's a beast. I get the jump on allot
Of cars around here, even mustangs and my roomates wrx impreza. However if your going to off road a 3200 might be too much. U might want to look into a 26-2800. I average about 19MPG with my current setup. I can make it from San Diego to Las Vegas in one tank.
