So I have these 4.56 gears on the shelf ready to be put into something but I am wondering a few things first. Right now I have 3.55 gears and 31 inch tires. On the highway at 60 I am turning 1800 rpm and I feel like I have to either drive in 3rd( I have an AW4 trans and a 4.0 litre) or keep my foot into it harder in 4th to keep the drag from my lift/tires/roof rack ect from slowing me down. It seems to pull harder above 2800 and so I was thinking if 4.56 gears would put me there then even better. Plus off road I would have a better time putting over stuff instead of having to goose it. BUT I also have an 100:1 kit for my transfercase and I could install that as well and have like a million to one low range or I could just install that and leave the gears as they are and deal with driving in 3rd when I am bucking a headwind or driving harder than normal. So my question to all of you is first what would my RPMs be with 4.56's on the highway? Also anyone got the 100:1 kit with deep axle gears and if you do how well do you like them?
