4.88 is for 1st gear launch power. Unless you're launching heavy up steep grades or carrying a heavy box around town all day, it's highly unnecessary. Personally, I'd prefer a 3.55 ratio for a 12k lb 5th wheel. 1750rpm at 65mph with the diesel is about right. Downshift when needed and get better mileage on the flats and running empty.
What does this have to do with a Ford F450? You are talking apples and oranges.
