Your travel speed across the ground will be different at 100:1 with a 35" tire (slower) than with a 44" tire (faster).
The thinking man (which we know you are) will consider both the crawl ratio and the tire circumference as determining factors for how the truck will perform offroad.
I've got some calcs somewhere that show the feet/minute that various setups would travel at 650RPM (idle basically). Consider that 1MPH is equal to about 88 feet/minute of travel speed, and these types of crawl ratios put the truck down at around 60 feet/minute.
Very well put !
I have trouble getting folks to understand I am not after the mechanical gear advantage ( power ) but instead I went with such a ratio to achieve wheel speed ( or lack of ) to have more control on obsticals.
This thread is good reading !

The exact thing I'm after. I'm not looking for more power, just more control.

after driving your truck last trip, (I didn't flip it) you need to wheel mine to better appreciate what you have already. you have 27% more reduction then me.
you should get a klune-V and ditch the 203. that would give you 72:1 before the torque converter. then later you could get a lo-max to give you 109:1 before the TC.
