Power band

I'm trying to figure out the new gearing for the dakota. I'm running 31's
with a 5 speed v6. The current axle ratio is 3:56. I was looking at 4:11
but the RPM's at 65mph are around 2900. Is that good placement within the
power band? The formula I'm using is:
rpm=(mph*gear ratio*336)/tire size
Thanks,
Mike I.
