I run about 3100 rpm at 70 in 6th, with tons of power to pass other cars.

In 4-lo, you can put it in first, take your foot off all the pedals, and it'll crawl up all the rocks by itself.
How was it crawling in lo with the 4.10? do you have the rubi t case? i rely on the lo a lot so i dont burn up the clutch!

I do a LOT of highway driving so i think 5.13s might be a bit big for me, i also never plan on stepping up to 37s so i figure i will lift, put on the 35s see how livable it is then step up to 4.56 or maybe 4.88. thanks for the advice everyone.

Crawling in 4 Lo with 4.10s can be done with ease, tons of power in 1st or 2nd. You really shouldnt have issues burning the clutch.

5.13's will be steep for 35's, but not a bad choice if you wheel a lot. Many of us stick to 4.10's because we intend on going with larger tires and don't want to regear twice. For daily driving, 4.88's with 35's will be closest to stock. Thats what I would go with.
