55 MPH with decent truck tires should require about 2600-2700 RPM, even with a 4.57 axle. Well within Stovebolt territory.
My 235 was way noisy at RPM; I finally discovered the old fan blade was unbalanced and the water pump bearing was bad. Look at the little stuff first, you may not need to re-gear.
Cheers!
