Well you live in Fla, fairly flat, if you do a lot of turnpike driving the 3:08 with either 5 speed overdrive would be ok if you don't pull a load. The 2;73 would cause you to do more back and forth shifting with either 5 speed. 3:08's are perfect for these 1/2 ton trucks under most circumstances. I vote for the 3:08's as they would keep you in the 2100 to 2200 rpm range.
