4.56 all the way. The loss in mileage will be negligable, not enough to make a major difference, however the gains while towing will be farly considerable.

Go with 4.56 if your using it for towing. You will never regret it...

THANKS BUT WHAT KIND OF FUEL MILAGE ARE YOU GETTING WITH 4.56 GEARS.
I HAVE 3.92 WITH 20" RIMS RIGHT NOW.

the fuel mileage is negligable...on a good day...flat road...drivin 68 mph...my overhead shows 21.9 mpg's...i know it's prolly not exact...but even if it's relative...it's good... and if you have 3.92's now, you won't see much of a difference in 4.10s...the tranny will run more efficient with the 4.56's, I tow a boat and my truck shows less effort with these gears...
