32" Tires - 4.30 or 4.10s?
I have had my 32x11.50x15 BFG A/Ts on for a while.... and the lack of speed is killing me.
I'm 2WD so 4.30 is an option.
I currently have 3.55 and it's a dog, I'm starting to get used to it, but I miss my old power.
Highway I drive 80+ whenever possible, usually cruise around 85. City I can no longer drive aggressive (hurts my inner soul trying to accelerate w/ 3.55), but I prefer too.
Recommendations? Why?

changin tires will effect the speedo.

Tough decisions. Posted this on R-F, ORR, RPS.
R-F = 95% 4.10's
ORR = 50/50
RPS = 95% 4.30's
I calculated the RPMS @ 90 MPHs (essentially my top cruising speed):
3.55's w/ 29" tires (AKA STOCK): 3701
3.55 w/ 32" tires: 3354
4.10 w/ 32" tires: 3874
4.30 w/ 32" tires: 4063
What are the cons of the 4.30's? I'm leaning towards the 4.30s, but I change my mind on an hourly basis (gas mileage or power... hrmm hrmm.. hrmm how bad will my mileage be??... hmm hmm).

first of all wtf you doing "cruising" at 90 MPH..and 4.10 are fine..i have 33's and 4.10 and i still have lots of giddy up and go your gas mileage is gonna go out the window either way be happy your only a 2wd..and its not power its torque the higher the gears the more torque youll get off the line..and to adjust your speedo just move your needle or get an Xcal to re tune it and youll get more power..
I WOULDNT take 4:30s in your situation there 32s you dont need 430s youll be paying for gas more then youd like 410 are jsut fine..456 would be just over kill..but i guess whatever floats your boat
