well then ur motor must really hate you because ur pounding on it and never notice that it drops to 1-1300 when it OD @ 45 if u baby it. I baby mine when accelerating, mainly because i don't want to put gas in everyday.

I pound on it?

Nope.

I started babying the pedal when I noticed I could get 17mpg up from 15mpg.

I want the best power I can get, but I don't want to lose my highway speeds. I was told to go with 4.10s.
4.56 and 33's was the ****. torquey and great on the highway it did 75mph no prob. I just bolted up my 35's and wish I had 4.88's but it's ok. I would've done 4.88 and 33's happily and still be fine on the freeway. but then, I dont care about gas. definitely get 4.56 or deeper 4.10's arent worth it

I was on the wall about 4.10s too. Mainly because i drive it to work everyday.

I did the gear calc and 4.10s would of been gear searching in city driving. I know its no big deal, but its only about 200 rpm difference with 4.10s and 4.56s.

Then not to mention any added weight besides tires and rims alone. Bumpers, gear, equip etc. the gear calculator doesn't allow for that aspect of it. so if you were to add say 300lbs for urself and just bumpers that 200 rpm diff gets consumed.

I am doin 4.56s for that reason. Looks like you still have a hard dicision to make...GL....
