Hell i just went to the local jy, pulled a 8.25 off a 4 cyl already had 4.10s in it. Only $65 lol. I dont intend on running bigger than 32s . If ya want 33x12.50 or bigger ya probably would want to grab a 8.8 with disc brakes. But whatever floats ur boat man, just my 2 cents
Higher rpms don't always mean more fuel used. Cruising at higher rpms after lower gearing can put you in a better position in the powerband at highway speeds, requiring less throttle input to maintain speed. And less throttle input will translate to shorter injector pulsewidth... so better mpg.
lower gear is a must for me in the hilly area I live in. Going downward
I do save on brakes with the lower gears....

with 33's id def do 4.56. Unless you can gear them yourself its gonna cost a pretty penny so to have any thoughts of regret from not gearing low enough afterwards kinda sucks. Im bout to do 4.88's and its gonna cost 1k to have it done right
about 1.5k at the local 4x4 shop but i found an automative tech guy that can do it for less
