I'm looking to lift my truck eventually to give it a better stance. Im currently running street tires. I dont recall the size off the top of my head. I'm too lazy to look at the moment. I have 3:73 gearing currently and wouldnt have any issues going to 4:10s in my current configuration. I like the acceleration with my current tire size and gearing. Lifting the truck would include going to a truck tire size, 33"-35". I know if I go up in tire size I'm essentially changing the gear ratio.

Is there a SIMPLE formula to figure out what gearing ratio I'll need to keep same acceleration with larger tires?

Fuel economy is not a concern, but I want to be able to do freeway speeds and be able to accelerate beyond to pass without pulling ridiculously high rpms. If I went with a 33"-35" tire I can only guess I'd need 4:56-4:88 gearing?
