Rear End Advise - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a 1971 Chevy C10 2wd with leaf spring rear. My truck also has a 3/5 drop with a 2006 5.3L/ TH350 combo. My current rear end is a stock peg leg. I'm am looking to get a limited slip set up but with lower gears. In the near future I also want to install either a TH400 or 700r4.

My question is which gear ratio would be better suited for my setup. I was originally thinking 3:08 or 3:42 for my Th350, but unsure if that ratio would work well with the other transmissions.

What do you guys think?
