I have a 2001 f150 4x4 5.4 on 35s. I'm debating on 4.11 or 4.56. My old 1997 I went with 4.56s but this is more of a highway truck. What's y'all's opinions

I'd go 4.10 if you're doing lots of highway driving.

Effectively the same thing 4.10 to 1. They are 4.10 not 4.11 for Ford 4x4 9.75.

With highway driving 4.10. Youll be a lot happier with 4.56s overall though.

Higher gearing means higher rpm at highway cruising speed, meaning more fuel consumption, not that that would be much of a worry running those tires lol.

4.10's for sure. I went with 4.10's on my truck because it seen a lot of highway and after trying one with 4.56's, I did not regret my decision.
