Probably 4.89
Was the faster of the two ratio's Dodge offered. There was a reason for that,Only I wish I knew what it was.
The stock truck with 4.89 performs reasonably well with decent road speed,Not interstate speed,which these trucks were ever designed for.
As stated much higher than that, the stock engine would not perform well enough.

4.56 would be as far as I would think you would want to go even with a re power and OD Trans.
62/65 MPH is fast enough for these trucks even with brake upgrades.
