4.56's.

4.10's barely get you back to stock effective ratio (and are not big enough jump from 3.73's to be worth it) - you need to compensate fer the significant additional rotational inertia.

Plus - the 4R75E has horrible ratios to begin with - especially 1st.

IF I remember correctly when I had mine regeared it is the 8.8 frontend(I would have to go back and look it up to be absolutely certain). And I second the 4.56's and 35" tire combo, best thing I have ever done to my truck.
