Thanks for all the input. This is a great forum. I won't do a lot of interstate driving, mostly back roads and back and forth to work 10minute drive at best. I think I'm leaning toward the 4.56's. If I stick with the 3 speed, that seems to be the better option. I want to put the NP435 in I just haven't tackled anything that big yet.

I have 4.11s and 265-75-16 tires thar are close to 33". I wouldn't consider anything higher than the gears I have. I think these 4.11s would be way too high for 35s. 65 MPH is fast enough for these things anyway.

Thought a gearbanger was for an auto trans??

Nope. It's a custom shift linkage (made by IronbenderII here and sold through at least one of the vendors (WH)) that takes the place of the stock NP shifter. Shortens the shift throw and puts the lever in a much more user-friendly position.
