You don't think 4.56 is a little much? I was thinking more like 4.10 but maybe that's conservative :shrug:

I would go 4.10 unless you plan on running a bigger tire later on. If you have 3.73 now all you will have to change is the ring and pinion to go to 4.10 if your gonna run 4.56 you'll have to change out the whole carrier which isn't cheap.

It should make your mpg a little better cuz your motor will not have to work as hard to get the vehicle rollin'....

Going to 4.10's will just make you made when it is still a turd off the line... Just sayin..

Your big *** wheels and tires weigh what 100lb's each??? Plus all the stereo stuff..
I would go ATleast 4.30's IMO

I'm looking for better acceleration all around, I just used the stop light thing as an example you know but I really don't want to make my mpgs any worse than they are lol, I know the heavy ass wheels isn't helpin at all
