With gearing there is a direct trade off. Add to the bottom you lose on top, add to the top, you lose on the bottom.
What cam are you putting in? That will make a difference in what gearing you use.

I wont be of much more help but others here will be able to help with more info on your set up.

What are you gearing? A 300 or a 400?
What cam are you going to use?
What is more important, top speed or getting to top speed?
There are many variables involved with gearing a vehicle. We need more info on what you have and what you want to give any info...

go 1 or 2 teeth up in front, since you have 20" tires and a pipe and filter.........or go 1 up in front and drop 2 in the back
