;D
4.56 will keep you drivable and allow you the torque at the wheels you need to spin them.
I would go with the 4.56, thats what I am going with when I upgrade to 35's on Mutineer.

4.56 w/ 35s may be a bit low for heavy highway, IMO. What size tires and gears did your truck come with stock?

Wow, a 4.56 would put you significantly deeper than you are now. Guessing that your truck had a 30-31 stock, A 4.10 would put you back into stock range for your truck. A 4.56 is definitely doable, but I might run the numbers for your tranny to find your highway RPM for whatever speed you like to cruise. If 4.30s are available for your truck, that might be a good choice. It would give you some etra oomph over stock, but not be quite so deep on the highway.

I would go 4.56 Matt, I have 3.92's and 35's now and really want 4.56's, there isn't much difference in 4.10's and 3.92's and I like having more low end than I have now, or that I even had with 31" tires. Plus regearing is expensive, so if you go 4.56's you could always step up to 37's later if ya want.

4.56s with the 35s are the way to go in my opinion. You'll end up a with a final ratio nearly identical to 31s with 4.10s, which is a good all around combo.
There is no perfect combo... all gear selections are a matter of compromise!
