4.56 puts you at about stock with 35's and gives you all the torque you need with 33's, so if you plan on doing any offroading or towing go with the 4.56 and it doesnt matter if you go with either size tire

It would put you about at stock RPMs.

anyone know what to expect as far as speed on the freeway with 4.56, would i still be able to cruise along at 65mph with the 35s without being at high rpms?
I'm keeping my 44 and 9.25 I don't really have the shop or money to do a dana 60 swap or I would.

I had asked this similar question on another forum, and i got these links ... both seem to tell me to go 4.10 to stay at stock... I think thats what i plan to do, if i can find a front and rear to swap. 4.10 is alot easier to find anyways. And i mostly have a daily driver, I like to play in the mud a little,but no crazy rock climbing and all i ever haul is a couple dirtbikes.

It also depends on what the vehicals weight is as well. A jeep is lighter than a half ton truck.
