4.10's for sure but you will need to change out the carriers too since you have the 3.07's in there

yes they will but dont go too low or you will just defeat the purpose. for a 32" tire stay with 3.55" minimum and 4.56" max. to keep your MPG's and power as close to stock as possible. remember too high (lower numerically) = more power being used just to turn the wheels at normal speed and too low (higher numerically) = not enough high end to travel at high speed
