I'd spend my money on getting a little more flex and some bigger tires before I regeared a low pinion dana 30 but thats just me
regear aint cheap unless you know a guy. you only wanna do it once

that'll get you 2 ring and pinion sets
then install kits are $100 each
new carrier is $90
and install can be up to $300 an axle
and you might as well throw a locker in there while you're digging around. $350

total: $1300 without a locker
that's why my advice is go big or save your money
but then again, I dont know you. maybe you're up for it

If you're positive you wont go bigger in the near future then go with 4.10s.

I wouldnt do it for 31s. Not necssary in my opinion. And , Yeah, a lot of us were at one point positively sure we would stay with 31s. . So you really want to make sure you do it once.
