With the larger tires on the truck, the effective ratio drops from 4.89-1 to about 4.6-1. Find a set of 4.30's and the ratio drops to 3.94-1. Yes, with the 230 it's a dog especially on real steep hills but, I cruise at 60 MPH and the Flattie is turning at around 2400 or so RPM's. The 230 Flattie will cruise all day and then some at those RPM's. Again, as Mac said, the Long blocks have more torque.
