If that is the case, I'd go 4.56.

You'll need the correct carrier for the gear ratio you want to run.

Different gear ratios require a different carrier due to the differences in ring gear thickness.

Here ya go.

Some more.

For the D30 the stock carrier case break is 3.54 and down and 3.73 and up. So if you are running stock gears and want to run 4.10 or 4.56 you are going to replace the carrier to a 3.73 and up. Sorry I dont know about the D35.

The way to figure what rpms you will run with the different gear ratios is:

MPH x gear ratio x 336 / tire diameter x top gear ratio = RPM

example

70 x 4.88 x 336 / 33 x .75 = 2609
