what do you guys suggest for a 93 bronco, 351 e40d and 35s?
would you suggest 4.10 or 4.56? Anyone running either of these combos have any thoughts?

4.56 gears with 35" tires would be about the same as 3.73s with the stock 29" tires. 4.33 gears/35" tires would be close to 3.55 gears/29" tires.

I hate to steal the post here, but I have a related question. I've got a 3.55 rear with 33" tires. Will regular size tires increase or decrease performance, fuel consumption, pulling power, etc. I'm still trying to figure all this out.

Thanks in advance,

Rotorhead

big bronco- If you do a lot of highway driving you should go with 4.10. O/D will help too. If you mostly do city driving and/or a lot of towing/off roading, then you should go with 4.56. I have 35"s and am trying to go in between them because I do equal city and highway driving.

Rotorhead- If you go with a smaller tire you'll have more powerand better take off. The bigger tire will give you a greater top speed if you have the power. But who buys a truck for speed? Hope this helps

I would recommend 4.56's for the money. The 351 doesn't lack torque by any means, but the power difference is higher then the mileage difference.
