like he said, 4.56 are your best bet (and biggest you can fit in the front diff). Same if not better gas mileage, alot more low end....ill be doing it next spring. Lockers make it quite a bit more expensive but so much more effective

I plan on gettin mine done in 3-4 weeks and am not 100% sure as well weather 4:10 or 4:56 (Have 3:55 like OP) would suit my needs as I drive 80 MPH on our Trans Canada 4 Laner but from what I have read on here since joining if I don't go 4:56 I'll be regretting it (and prolly be chastized "I Told You So").
So worst case if I find the revs to high on the highway I can always go bigger Tire!
I can assume Hammer your Tires are 35's? as you guys have said its better for the truck to be close to the Sweet Spot anyways!

I don't run 80 mph, but usually around 65-70 with 4:10 and 30.5" tire. I wish I had gone with 4:56. Bigger tires won't have a problem running 4:56 gear IMO.
