Exclamation Gears 4.10 or 4.56

So I'm fighting over how big of a gear I really need and want.

I want 4.56's but with my 33" 4.56 seems to be over kill since I don't tow.

I would like to run 35" but tires get really pricey.

So I'm turning to you guys for help on gear size.

if you want 35's in the future, go 456. You'll be kicking yourself later if you don't.

I don't like how dt is all broken up so I only got some of the member opinions.

I know over here I will get a better turn out.

i have been trying to decide the same thing myself. are you going to keep the dana 44 in front or upgrade to dana 60?

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 just got some new 265's Courser AT/2's today. (32.2 inches) and my 4.10's work excellent with them. So if your going to stick to 33's id say 4.10's...if you want bigger tires, then you may as well get 4.56's

so basically if your going 33's then 4:10's 35's 4:56, i'm tossing the idea around about some 33 or 35's but i am still contemplating which lift i want to get, but thanks for the info.

go 4.56.... im using 4.56 with my 265's.... and although it appears overkill... i dont think it is, i love it...it almost makes me not want to go bigger because i know itll lose SLIGHT torque, but since i have a lift with them small tires i will go bigger... but go 4.56 you wont be dissapointed... i can promise you, you will be disappointed if you pay the money to get 4.10's and install them and end up wanting 4.56's
