What rear end gearing with 24x15" wheels?

I'll be running a 6.0L LQ9 with a 4l65e and 24x15 rear wheels. Wondering what gears I should run? 4:10s or 3:70s or ??

Can I use my stock rear end and just get new gears with posi?

All opinions welcomed!

.....24x15....i want pics...this either looks ridiculous or downright amazing. And as far as an answer id think you'd be good with new gears and a posi.

Yes, 24x15. It's been done. I'm still in the parts gathering phase

So 3:73 or 4:10 or something else??

I narrowed my factory 12 bolt and went with 4:11's for motivation. Mine are 24x14 though

Damn your truck is sick AF!

Thanks. Honestly I haven't been 70+, but the tires are closer to 32" diameter and with Overdrive I'm thinking it'll do fine.

Wow. That's f*ckin cool. Y'all make me rethink my 20x8 and 20x12 choices. That looks awesome.
