Gears with 285/17's

What gear size would put me back in the powerband?. I purchased the truck a few months ago and it kicks down to when pulling hills on highway.

How big is that? Like a 33? Whats the sidewall on them? 70?75?

4.56 should put you back, 4.88 will make it feel powerful.

They are 285 70 17's
Not sure what theyre equal to in size.
This is a daily on road use only vehicle, with the exception of driving on the beach a few times a year ( hopefully).

Thanks.
