well acceleration will be more noticable and higher cruising RPM.... in which less gas mileage due to the higher highway RPMS and with gas prices going up.... i would keep the 3.55 gears or maybe go up to a 3.73 or somewhat close to that number... wont suck down as much gas but give ya a slightly better peformance with acceleration and all... if ya still go with the 4.10 then ya might wanna run a larger tire to help keep RPM's down on the highway...

Thanks for the info.
I'm putting in the 4.10 to improve my towing ability.
