4.10s or 4.56s 4.10s is just a tad under what is required and 4.56s are just a tad over.

to be exact yes, usualy people just get the 4.56s because they dont know what they will do further down the road. you may buy a trailer and need to tow it around. so its nice to have a little to much then not enough or the same IMO lol.

And I'm not totally sure on this but I think they only make a 4.30 gear set for the rear 8.8 and not for the Dana 44 front axle so guys don't run that ratio on 4x4s. But I could be wrong.
