I have the 4:10s, and would gladly swap gears with you. At 70 mph, my tach is around 2200rpm. At 45 mph, it's in OD and TC is locked. If you have 4wd and are serious about swapping gears, let me know. If you are interested and live in, or plan on being close to central Florida, I'd be to swap with you. I drive 85 a day round trip for work, and I don't pull the 5ver enough to warrant the 4:10s.

Upsize the tires with the gear change and you will be close to what you have now with better leverage. Depending on the tire you choose you might run 100 rpms more with the 4.10's.
