what gears for 4.0L Auto with 35's?
It's my daily driver and has stock gears which i believe are 3.73. I feel like its straining the rear end to move those big tires. What ratio would be more appropriate?
I don't do any serious mudding. Just trails and dunes. It's on pavement 90% of the time and I use it to haul my banshee quite frequently. I don't want the motor to be screaming while doing 70mph down the freeway with higher gears. It does have o/d though.

no, its a Dana 35, standard rotation. I remember the shop who got mine had to look them up under M35 or something weird.

so the front is a dana 35 and rear is a ford 8.8? will the 4.56's fit in both stock carriers?
if so all i need are these for the front?
Yukon Dana 35 4.56 Ring and Pinion
and these for the rear?
Yukon Ford 8.8" 4.56 Ring and Pinion
and would you suggest an overhaul kit for them while I'm at it?

4.88's with 35's, in my opinion.
I had 4.88's on my sport trac (4.0L SOHC 5 speed AUTO) with 33's, and it was just a tad low on the freeway at 70+. It will be perfect with 35's, should feel great.
4.56 will be okay too, but given my personal experience I would go with 4.88, no question about it.

4.88 without a doubt. I get BETTER mileage numbers on the highway and in hte city than I got in stock form. And my highway runs are 75-80mph and still pulling numbers in the 17 range. At 60-65, I'm pulling 21mpg's. My overall average is about 16.5-17(mixed). All these numbers are coming from a properly calibrated ScangaugeII, with 4.88's and 35's w/ 5spd manual trans.
Truck is also my daily driver.
