Well, the extended chassis added some weight, and the larger tires effectively increased your gearing, so that makes sense. I would've gone down at least 2 teeth on the pinion to keep close to the same roll-out ratio and to help compensate for the added weight. Of course, this assumes you don't mind losing a bit of top speed.
