I would stick to 4.10's. They are more highway friendly.

Yeah I think 4:56's would be way to much IMO! 4:10's should be enough and would do the job!

what do you think it would do fall off on the top or what - it seems like some gear would complement my package but it is too expensive to do it twice. i have to do the right thing the first time. what do you think my rpms would be at 75mph - basicly i want this thing to be quicker and not sure what the answer is. like i said i was thinking 4.56 & 2800 stall. this is my daily driver though.

4.56 gears and a high-stall converter in a supercharged heavy ***-ended SUV is a heap of fun. This, I can assure you.

For your tires though I agree with other in that 4.10's would be the best gear for you. Another thing to consider that the higher the numerical ration is the smaller and less teeth the pinion gear is. Tooth-to-tooth contact surface area is reduced as that ratio increases. The more gear ration the more torque multiplication too. Denalis have 10-bolt rears with the 6.0, not a 9.5" like the pickups. That rear end needs to be babied as much as you can do it.

Your problem is not the gears it's a huge heavy vehicle and a little engine. 456 gears are for racing not highway driving. You would be sorry.
