i disagree with the re-gear, ESP if it's an automatic... i hate my 4.10's i'm doing 3000 rpm down the hiway, with 31's... you don't need 4.10's i barely ever use 4x4 low even, and the only time i do, isn't because the truck doesn't have the torque to turn em, it's because i don't want to roast my clutch... a stock height truck, the thickest mud your going to get into, the motor will turn the tires, in 1st gear, if the mud is right up to the bottom of the truck, and if it's deeper than that, it is going to be the body that isn't letting you move any more, not your tires not turning...
ya dig?
i would only really go with 4.10's if you are looking at 33's-35's or bigger

theres no reason you should be running 3k rpm with 31's in 5th gear. thats wayyy high. you should be more in the 2400-2500 rpm range. with 4.10s and 32's i was running 2400 at 70 in 5th and with 33's its like 2300-2350. are you sure you are in 5 and not 4th when taking this reading?
with 4.10's 31's and a .79 OD you should be 2457 rpm and in 4th you should be 3111 rpm
*edit* and i stated 285/75s which will be 32.8 or 305/70s which will be 32.8 as well

keep in mind also, with your 33's, your rpm is going to be lower at the same speed, than mine...

If I were you, I'd get in it, drive it to my house, hand me the keys....
Maybe paint the step bars black or remove them all together.
Swap the plastic bed rails for diamond plate to match the toolbox (unless that's a bed liner, not just rails).
Bigger tires, not monster truck tires, say 32".
Change the emblems to old school style.

almost 3000 rpm driving down the hiway, this was done on the way to work, at about 6am, which is the beginning of rush hour, and no, i wasn't tailgating people or swerving in and out of traffic, this is roughly the speed of the traffic in the morning here.. (about an hour later it's gridlock though)
