That would depend on how and where you drive it, I put 4:56 gears in my K5 Tahoe with 35's on it but I only use it off road for the most part. If I ran on the street alot I would have used 4:10

456 for more low end power, 410 for higher speeds. The assumption here is you're not doing a lot of highway driving in this rig, anyway.
