Who's running a TKO-500 5 speed?

What rear end gears are you guys running with your TKO-500? I find the first gear in the tranny to be really low when combined with my 3.91s. I'm thinking of switching to 3.55 or 3.23. Anyone out there with either of those?

I forgot to mention I have a 26” tall tire. What size tire do you have?
