I like 4.88 gears with 37" tires for how I use my truck. My toy hauler is approx 13,000 lbs and my destinations take me up steep grades and over mountain passes. Truck feels dialed...

I have a local commute (no freeway). When I am unloaded on the freeway, I hold 80 MPH at 2,600 RPM the entire trip. The 6.0 likes RPM.

You stated earlier that you do not tow much, if ever. But, you may get a boat? I recommend 4.56 gears with your 38" tire setup.
