I would suggest starting a post asking what a good ratio for that combo would be. I don't think it has been discussed very much, if at all.

More than likely the answer will be, it depends.

i usually start with asking the question in google. something like " i have an early bronco with a coyote motor and 6r80 transmission. i want to run 33" tires. what is the optimal or best axle gear ratio?" usually that pulls up anything CB and other sites, forums, videos etc that "may" have something. thats my starting point

This site actually has a feature when you click on "Post Thread" and start typing in the title it will bring up similar threads with the same or close to title. If that doesn't work, the search function on the site will find your specific words like "ratio" in pretty much every post.

The way that I did it with my pending 5.3 LS into the Wagon swap was to look up the donor vehicle's tire size and axle ration. Plunk that into Excel to get the cruise RPMs at a several different highway speeds. That told me what GM wanted that engine to run at. Then I changed the tire size to my intended and adjusted the axle ratio to get back to the GM intended RPMs.
Sounds harder to do than it is.

Coyotes operate efficient at 2000-2200 rpm for cruise. 4;11 puts you at 2017 rpm i your 6th gear (overdrive). So go with 4;10.
