4.10 or 4.56?? 8.8 with 32's!

I can't seem to find a definite answer on which is the better gear ratio. But I'm thinking 4.10s would be best for my situation.

I have a 95 f150 manual trans with 8.8 rear. I don't plan on going any larger than 32's on the truck and I mainly just drive on the road. Would I be better off with the 4.10s?

300 or 302? With the 300 the 4.10s should be plenty with 32s, the 302 will be fine on the highway but not offroad, which sounds less likely for you

302. What would be wrong with 4.10s offroad? Wouldn't they be better than stock?

The 4.10s would be fine for highway starts, but on large hills or rough ground the engine wouldn't have much low end power. If you lived in an extremely hilly area I would recommend the 4.56s

4.10a are the lowest I would go with. For driving or off road. You have 4 low for off road and NO OVERDRIVE
