4.56 gears will work I tow a 6000lbs travel trailer with
4.56 35" BFG a/t and when I travel its 1000 to 1500 miles at a time. Fact my next trip will be to Seattle in two weeks.

350 Vortec TPI D60 14Bolt 4"lift 35 BFG A/T

DUDE. You could get 4.56's WITHOUT an overdrive and your highway RPM wouldn't be that bad with 35's. But since you have an overdrive you should completely get the 4.56's...don't even think about 4.10's. You could even do some 4.88's and still cruise comfortably at 75 mph.

Don't make the mistake I made. I had 4.10 installed with 35s and the 700R4. I was worried about highway RPM. Anyway, They were OK until a slight wind or hill. Then I'd have to downshift to drive. Ironically enough, I am having 4.56s installed tomarrow! I am taking a 6 hour trip next weekend through the hills of Pensylvania (Carlisle bound!). I'll surely let you know how it went. I hope I dont wish I had installed 4.88s!

Go with the 4.56. I have the same setup as you but with the 4.10 and it's a dog! I wish like hell that the guy that I bought it from had put the 4.56 in.
