I am not going to be involved in a keyboard spat, but will give my opinion. I chose to use the standard size 245/17, with 3.73 gears, when I ordered mine. Mine is a 4x4, so height was important, due to garage door clearance, and to keep my FW level. I also know that there is a gearing difference between the standard 31" tire vrs. the optional 34" tall tires.
Mine is a 250, so I do not need the load carrying cap. of the larger tires and wheels.
If I did need a heavy duty 350, with the big tires and wheels, to carry a big load, I likely would have opted for the 6.7, rather than the 6.2. If I had the big tires and wheels on a 350 and wanted the gasser, I would get the 4.30 gears needed to help off set the tire diameter.

You have a very clear line of thinking there, Jerry.
