Default Auto to Manual swap axle ratios

Has anyone swapped a 4 liter xj from automatic to 5-speed and kept the 3:55 axles? If so, what are the engine RPMs at highway speed (say, 65 mph)?

no but I had 3.55s with my 5sp for a while. Not much different than stock, around 2200 maybe a bit more.

My buddy swapped in 3.55s axles with his 4.0 ax15 and said it's the perfect combo, maybe even a little lower than stock with his 31s.
