That is a good combo for cruising - but it lacks oomph in 1st gear. If hauling or wanting to accel quickly in 1st, this is not a good combo. BUT, if one is gonna drive it as a cruiser and isn't doing burnouts, I agree, it is a great combo - and most of all, a very inexpensive one (especially if it's already in the truck).

Really would like to know op's current combo, I bet there is a less expensive way to get the desired end result without changing out both the trans and the rear.
