  Right. You have 4.10s now, so going to the 245/55 18 (and keeping
your 4.10s) would have the same butt dyno effect as if you were to
keep your current tires and change the rearend gears to 3.97s.

  Were you the one who had the 4.10s installed in your truck, or
was it a previous owner? If it was you, and if you had 3.90s
before, remember the butt dyno difference from doing that?
Going to the new tires would essentially take away half of that
difference.
