I would have to agree on 4.56 gearing. I was at first wondering if I should have gone with 4.88s when I got my 4.56s, but I'm glad I got the 4.56s. They are about perfect for my setup and the way I drive. 4.88s would have given me even more off-the-line torque, but the engine would've been spinning another 200 - 250 rpms or so higher on the interstate in OD, which would make my already terrible mpg even worse, if that's even possible... 
ron 33 I'm with you I also have 4:56 and was wondering how good the 4:88's would have been but spoolling almost 2 grand in over dr sucks up enough gas I'm glad I didnt make it worse with 4:88's

If you are talking about diff clearance... the only thing that will ever increase that is tire size. No amount of body/suspension lift will every incrase your diff clearance.For frame clearance... he just bought himself 2" from the tires (37-33)/2 and ~5 inches from the suspension lift. There's 7 inches...
Now... the bumpers got raised an additional 3 inches with the body lift... that will affect your approach and departure angles. That's important for people with 4 wheel drive.
Ta duh!

You obviously stopped thinking too soon... If you are talking about diff clearance... the only thing that will ever increase that is tire size. No amount of body/suspension lift will every incrase your diff clearance.

SCT will give you the most power, but a superchips 3815 will adjust your speedo.
4.56 gears will also give you back that lost power, although the 4.10s you have arent bad.
