4.88 or 5.13?? Question for experts

My setup: 2008 5.4l crew cab with 3.55's.. I have 11.5" of lift with 38's and 20's and I'm about to regear to either 4.88 or 5.13's but don't know which ones to go with.. I drive mainly 35-45 mph roads.. And the interstate once a week and I tow trailors when I'm on the interstate.. Which gears would benefit me the most? Thanks

4.88 is what you need. If you did 5.13 you would not be able to regear the front because they don't make 5.13 in reverse cut. I.got 38's running 4.88 and they do very well

That's better than my 9mpg! But it's worth it to drive eye candy, especially the biggest one in my town

Haha I hear ya. It won't get you much better mileage, but it will take a lot of stress off it transmission
