To elaborate on NightHawk's post:
4.10 X 3.06 = 12.546 (4l60e with 4.10s)
Thats pretty comparable to the first gear in the XFE truck. (12.41 overall) I would love to have 4.10 acceleration in my truck with 3.23 cruising RPMs. So yea, I'm missing the downsides.....
This would be a great truck for modding because its lowered and lightened from the factory IMO.
