Good point. I was just thinking about drivability, but you'll have to consider longevity too..

when i bought this stuff i had a truck with 4 cylinder and all stock and my plans was to fix it up but i had the one with the v8 and the frame broke on it so i decided to it since im 4 linking the rear so was just wondering peoples opinions on what direction to go. im thinking maybe the 4.7 with single case and stock 410 gears and see how that works for me

That should give you a pretty decent crawling ratio and also be able to hit 2nd gear in the trans if you need more wheel speed. In my opinion spending money on the t-case gears is the right place for something you are mainly concerned with off-performance on as they make a much bigger difference than axle gears. 4.10's aren't the optimal pavement gears for that size tires but they will get you by.

you will blow them yota cases apart if you have a heavy foot, and 5.29s pushing it with v8 also
