Post Gearing setup?

ive looked at my truck's front/rear end differential. and the front says its a dana 44, and the back is a ford 8.8 (also found out with some help from you guys). im trying to figure out what kind of gearing i will need it to be set at for 35 inch tires. my gearing for the rear end is 3.55. need some help. what kind of gearing will work for 35's?

4.11:1 would be pretty close. 4.56:1 would give you a little more 'off the line power than you have right now.
