Someone had their gear knowledge reversed. The higher ratio you go, the more torque you get. There are a few sponsors off performancetrucks.net that have hard to beat pricing on good quality gears.

this is an excellent calc. I've posted all the values needed a number of times if you do a search. Compare multiple valuse side by side, rpm @ speed, etc.

For starters just look at how small the difference is between stock and 4.56.
