Default Got my gear situation figured out

I called CompleteOffRoad last night about 6:30. didnt get an answer so i figured they were closed. about a half hour later i get a call back. i thought that was pretty good service to start off. I ask the guy about the dana 44 standard and dana 44 disconnect. we found out that i need a standard. i then asked him about the gears in the package. the front came with yukon ring and pinion. the rears came with USA gears or something of that sort. i asked him y the rear wasnt a yukon and he said that they are just a bit more expensive. so i had him price it with the yukon in the rear and its only $60 bucks more! so i figured i would go a head with all yukons. then i asked him what he preferred on my truck for gears. he suggested 4:10s. i went to a local repair shop and they suggested 4:10s too. so i think im goin to go with the 4:10 set on CompleteOffRoad. Thanks for all you guys help on getting this figured out!

he doesnt have the 4.56's he has factory....he jumped the gun and said 4.56's soon on the sig.....
I went from 4.10s to 4.56 on my jeep with 32 and saw waay better gas mileage and power on that setup so I guess it varies from make and combos of vehicles...but everyone on dodge forums usually recommend 4.56 with 35"s Iknow with 35's and 4.56 gears myself 2100 rpm's at 70mph doesnt seem bad to me...

stock gears are 3.55 with the corporate 9.25 rear end. from what people are telling me at the local shop, my boss, friends of dads, and completeoffroad 4.56s would be a bit of and over kill. they think 4.10s would be fine. does anyone have the 35s with 4.10 setup so ik how well it works? same with the 35s and 4.56s?
