    i would go for 4.88 since the stock 4.11 on stock tires, the maximum speed of 4th gear and 5th gear is almost the same.

    Weight and aerodynamics are also factors which can affect both top speed and accelerations. You regear to maintain drivability. But keep in mind that a taller truck has worse aerodaynamics than stock and that bigger tires weigh more than the stock ones.
