Thanks!
And also thanks for providing the excellent spring perches - much cleaner than trying to re-use the originals.

Tires are 235/85R16s which are about 31.8” in diameter. 70 mph is about 2200 rpm in 5th – see graph below. Each green line represents the RPM to MPH relationship for each forward gear.
