Gears for 35's

Got an '04 FX4 Screw and am about to put 35's on it and was wondering the right gears to use? I was guessing 4.10 or 4.30 but didn't know if the new F150 came with an 8.8 or a 10.25 rear end. I'm pretty sure I have 3.73's right now.

Ok, they stopped useing the 8.8s, and the steerling 10.25s were in superdutys, and they stoped using this one too.

You have a 9.75" Ring gear, and for 35s, 4.10 gears wouldn't put you back to stock gearing.
IF it were me, I'd put 4.56s, and at worste 4.30s.

I have now had an 04 with 3.55's, an 06 with 3.73's and currently drive an 04 with 4.10's, all with what amounts to about a 32 '' tire. For 35's I would not consider anything other than 4.30's or 4.56's or you will have trouble getting out of your own way. I would lean more to the 4.56's.

If you check on the Ford website you will see that Ford offers the SuperDuty with a 5.4 and 4.30 gears as a factory option. All the factory tires are around 31 to 32 inches.
