How do you like the 4.56's? I'm debating between the 4.30's or 4.56's. I tow 6k-7k lbs pretty regularly.

I like the gearing, more so around town than on the open road.
When I tow, it's great.
Otherwise, it's a little bit much.
Cruising on the interstate without a load at 80mph whips through fuel pretty quickly.

See I've got a 4.10 right now, but until I put this programmer on it felt kinda sluggish, I was thinking maybe a 4.56 or 4.88 but I want performance AND mileage gains.

if your going to stay with 37's and it doesn't seem like you tow, 4.30's would be the way to go. no more than 4.56's

I rarely tow, at most I'll tow some lawn equipment once in a blue moon, a car trailor, or some 4wheelers, but I rarely tow any of this.
