Lower RPMs does not mean better gas mileage. More RPM's is better than less, especially with the 3.0L.
4.88's BARE minimum for a 3.0L and 35's. I'd even go 5.13's, but if you are still going to do more highway than offroading, then you can get away with 4.88's.
4.56's won't cut it bro.

Your engine will be fine with the 4.88 or the 5.13. I'd be more worried about the axles holding up than the motor.
I'm running 4.56 with 32's and @70mph my tach runs about 2800
I was running 4.88 with 35's on another project and @ 70 it was just a little lower but mileage was same with both.
