That's going to be a nice rig. I'm thinking 4.88 would do fine for you with 39" tires, you could get away with 4.56 without a problem though, but for some good performace off road 4.88.

Good luck with everything,
Matt

Im runnin currie high pinion 9 inchers front and rear with 4.56s for serios trail use,but i also have a spare set of third members set up 3.73s.But were talkin big time moolaa.Not to mention the atlas two t-case to spin the 36" tsl's.

Its a pretty good set up for the trails i run.If i cant climb with gears ill let the 410 do it[witch ends up breaking somthing].

for 39's with a bb i would go with 456 if you do more driving over 55, if you mostly ride aorund the country 55 and under and do lots of offroading, go 488, especially since you dont have 4 low. and if you think you will EVER go to a bigger tire,definitly go at least 488
