New Gears

[datdude68]

Ok I have the 5.4 liter with a roush supercharger on it. I plan on changing the pulley, installing colder plugs and getting a custom tune. With all the added horsepower i want to change my gears. I currently have 3.55's i want to put in 4.10's or 4.30's. Does anyone have any suggetions on what to install i do want to be able to cruise the highway.

I might take it to JDM. Im probably going with Yukon 4.11's. With 4.56 wouldnt it be revving really high???

2wd or 4wd. if 2wd i would get some 4.30's but if a 4wd i would say 4.10

3.55: 1800
4.10: 2050
4.30: 2150
4.56: 2275
