Ring and Pinion ?

I currently have a LS differential in my 00 F150 (8.8", 31 spline). I have thought about upgrading my tire size from 33" to 35" and was wondering what size gears would be optimal to install with these new tires. I noticed a difference in power once the 33's were put on and I don't want to put on 35's without upgrading my rear end. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks

My guy told me 4:10 and I would be good for 33 and 35" tires, he said 4:56 is a little on the radical side. Considering you have an automatic with OD I would think 4:10 would make you happy I just did mine and love it!
