Light to light? If so I'd do 4.10's if you have stock size tires.

If it is a 5.4 it most likely has the 9.75. If you put the 4.10's in your freeway mileage will go down by close to 2 miles a gallon. What size tire are you running? that will have alot to do with what gear you pick. Also that gear ratio with stock tires will kill your topend.
Your tire size, OD ratio will determine the best overall gear to choose.
