Ya... im gonna have to say 4.10s. Like I said in your other thread... 30" tires with 3.08s equates to 35" tires and like 3.55s (if I remember correctly). The 4.10s would be just a little additive to get the heavy 35s rolling. 35s are not that big of tires.

I have ran 456 and 488 gears both with 35s and either way its good, it just revs a lil more on the highway with 488s. I would go 488s tho. I was at 2500ish with 488s and 35 claws.

4:88's with a 4 speed auto is different than a 3 speed, stick with the 4:56
