I get better gas mileage now that I put the 4.10's in. If the bulk of your driving is under 60MPH you'll probably benefit too. Get an exact tire size and plug it into this:

OD ratio on our trucks is 0.69 not 1.A 1:1 ratio is your 3rd gear. You want your average diving speed to be somewhere between 1800~2000RPMs. That way your getting better power for your burn.
AT 60 mph im gettn 3802rpm?!
I typed in

Rear End Ratio: 4.10
@ desired MPH: 60
Tire Diameter (Height) In Inches: 15???? What do u put there?
OD Ratio: .69
