Planning on doing 4.10s around Christmas. I do to much highway driving (40 mile round tip to school) to go with 4.56s. I have custom tunes so that helps a little bit and will correct the speedo

Yeah the tunes will help. I had my speedo reset when I went a little bigger and I didn't see a difference in power or gas mileage. The only time I did was when I pull a trailer

I only pull a trailer every now and then and when I do it just a 17 foot aluminium boat, but my girlfriends dad normally pulls it so I'm not to worried about it. Right now I'm getting 14 mpg combined so I'm expecting that to drop a mile or 2 a gallon before I regear.

I got the 4.6L with 35's on stock 3.55 gears and it ain't no drag monster, but I can still haul a lot more than what Ford recommends lol.
