I went with 4.56. I have 315/70/r17 T/A KO2, they measure right at 34".
I have the 6MT, so I notice the change a whole lot more than you 8 speed folks, but I'm happy.
85mph is now really pushing it in 6th gear, 78 is about as fast as I want to cruise (~2,600rpm), and more importantly, everything leading up to that speed is incredibly more enjoyable.
I can accelerate comfortably anywhere from 70 to 80 on the highway without downshifting to 5th.
My main goal was to take a load of the clutch and make taking off easier, when towing time comes. I also didn't like having to resort to 4lo off road to have any control with the clutch.
All goals are met.
If I had an 8spd and would NEVER go to 37s, I'd say 4.10 would be perfect.
I have the 6mt and MIGHT go to 37s, so I'm glad I went 4.56.
I don't think you'd ever need 4.88, especially for a truck that will only rarely see a flat gravel road.
