I really like the pep and overall performance of the 4.56's. I'm sure you'll get a hundred different answers to this question and this is just my personal experience and opinion. Good luck!
What RPM are you running on the Interstate at 75, fully locked up?

I don't mind the RPM's in town, just when traveling might make a difference in 4.56's.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Hitting 2700 rpm's at 70 mph and averaging just over 17 mpg's. At 75 things go south, pushing 3000 rpm's and mpg's drop to around 15.5 to 16. Keep in mind this is on a measured 34" tire.

Great info. I have a 2 door auto 2012 and am getting 35 MTR Kevlars. I'll leave it at 4.10 and hope my trips up the mountains and offroading, don't leave me with a craving to regear.
