Jr member waiting on Fabtech 6"

I just wanted to thank this site for all the great posts that I learned so much from. I have already purchased my tires for the lift and they are just waiting to be put on. I cant wait!
I am a little bit worried about the power after I put on 35's.
I know i wont be able to tow the same but what about highway driving, will it be dog?

I have a 5.4L with 3.55 limited slip.

But I do have an Edge programmer and AF1 intake.

I'd say it will be a tank with 3.55s.

I have 3.73s and I think it's slow as hell.

From the links kaka-roach provided looks like with 35s you need 4.10 gears.

I looked into new gears and found some motive gears for $377 front and back w/mini install kits. Does that sound like a good price to you guys? And as for labor, I would like to try it myself with the help of my father in-law who has done it before.
My wife just called and said the 4wheel store just recieved my lift.
