how much long distance driving do you do? I'd spring for the 4.56's if it were me. I never really drive too far, unless I'm going to Indiana for leave.

Default Erics Black Grille

Only because Baracis asked for it. Black does look good too. I still like white better.

Can someone please tell me how to post pics in the message without using an attachment. I would think you could copy and paste, bit it don't work for me.

For me 4.10s are the way to go as I don't want to loose highway MPG. I think colormatch white is the way to go but only you can decide.

I have been leaning toward 4.56's myself... but its been a topic of discussion amongst my family... and they say 4.10's... lol

partly because they dont want to get owned out of the hole I am guessing...
Mostly city, I'd definitely spring for 4.56s. From stoplight to stoplight or 1/4 times, the wannabe ricers would **** themselves when you launch like that. Then again I'm more "HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW B!TCHES!" as apposed to, "I have 4:10s because I get 1mpg better over 4.56s, and I love trees."

Black grill, white inserts, maybe even some kind of design or something on the inserts. Like a ram head broken into 4 pieces or something. Black grill def looks wicked.

Use an online calculator like this http://www.csgnetwork.com/multirpmcalc.html

I put one in for 60mph, 31" tire, and 3.92 gears. From 3.92 to 4.56 the rpms go from 2618 to 3045. If you change the MPH to 80 and 4.56 your rpms rocket to 4060.

It is probably more than 1mpg loss at anything over 35.

Check the numbers. If you occasionally speed down the highway near 80 like I do and don't care about a 4k rpm for anything over an hour do it...
