Understandable Al. Once again I appreciate the input fella's. So you think the 4.56's would be ok for my winter 31's. I know they'll be great for the 35's, just dont want winter to come and I cant keep the ram on the road yano.

Should be ok with the 31's. On slippery roads with the smaller dia. tire and deeper gears remember to just use your big toe on the throttle not your whole foot! lol

While I believe you are correct, let's not cause confusion.
4:10 is incorrect
4.10:1 is correct

We can reduce confusion among those of us who while intelligent, may not be automotively savy enough to understand what you are getting at using a commonly shared innacuracy.

Just a point. I figured I'd share.

@ Cthulhu got it 1:1. My post was for those of us that are less knowledgeable not you who know it all. Hope that helps.

Just be aware of how the truck responds to your throttle response.
