If you like mileage then go with 4.30's... If you like RPM's then go with the 4.56's...

I would run 4.30's up to about a 40" tire, then maybe step up to a 4.56...

So the 4:30s will be low enough to tow but wont kill the gas milage. I read several threads bout the 4:56s running 2150rpms at 70mph, whats rpm range am i looking at with the 4:30s at about that same speed

well if you have a powerstroke your gas mileage will be great as far as diesel goes it might be alright

I have two buddies running an 05 and an 06 crewcab respectively, both on 5-6" lifts, running 37's, on stock gearing. They have towed quite a few things even with the stock 3.73's without issue. I'd stay with 4:10's or 4:30's personally.
