Two things I would suggest. 1. I'm not sure you need a gear ratio so low (3.73's work for me) as it will impact your mileage.
The reason for the 4.30 is he is looking at a gasser. Complete different than a diesel. You need more RPMs to develop power. So to get moving faster you need to get into higher RPMs the sooner the truck is going to start moving along. You need lower gears in the gasser so you have more oomph in it. I know when I had my 2011 F350 I wouldn't have anything in it but the 4.30 axle ratio but that is me. YMMV
Forgot it was a gasser. That makes sense to me now.
