thanks but I've taken care of all the necessary maintaince issues. I know that I don't have a limited slip for one and can almost bank on the fact I have 3.73's

also I'm currently running to 65's on factory wheels looking to put on a set of 20 x 10's with 33's on there is the recommendation still 410s or possibly a higher gear ratio ??
I would go 4.56. If your needs don't include much hwy, or you are always loaded, I would strongly consider 4.88. This also allows for 35's for when the 33's get to small.

That would also be referred to as a lower gear ratio, not higher. The higher the number, the lower the gearing.

I know you didn't ask for my opinion, but I think a set of 0 offset black wheels would set it off nicely.
