It's a truck. with 4.56 he'll be able to get off the line better and have more towing abilities and will also allow room for a larger cam with a stall to match.
well i am going to be doing a TR-224 on a 112 very soon so then these 4.56s will def be a help

I'm doing a gear swap this christmas break I think I'm gonna go with 4.10's. I don't do a lot of interstate driving. If I do I never drive over 75 due to the fact you can watch the gas needle fall anything above that.

I have 4.56 is both my Silverado and Tahoe. Love them! 2400RPM @ 75MPH and average ~17MPG with around town/city freeways. With 32" tires a 4.56 is about the same as a 3.73 in cars (F-bodies and such).

I have Richmond Gears in the Silverado and they whine a good bit (exhaust is WAYYY louder ). However, they are accepted by most to be the strongest gears out there so they will take the max punishment.

I have Motive Gears in the Tahoe and they are dead silent.

The true value gears I had were made by Yukon and whined from day 1. Motives haven't made a peep.
