Ok...let me give you a little history on my Dak:

(1) Purchased with 3.55 and 245/70 Tires
(2) Installed 30" BFG's but acceleration sucked
(3) Swapped 3.55's for 3.90's
(4) Lifted the snot out of the truck and installed 32" BFG's
(5) Swapped 3.90's for 4.10's

On the overall scale, your statement it true. What I personally did was
keep a ratio close to the stock one but allow the engine to turn the tires
a little bit easier. My closest estimation is that i'm running 3.60's with
the 32" tires and 4.10 gears. (I actually jacked up the rear end and
counted the driveshaft revolutions compared to one tire revolution.)
