I disagree, I think 4.10's will be the way to go. Launching with more gear is easier (I think anyways) since the RPM's match up faster with the tire speed, so on a bog it'll come out of the low revs faster, and you can easily backpedal if you spin too much (or adjust launch RPM accordingly). With that kind of torque though you could get away with less gear (3.73 is as tall as I would go) if you wanted to retain a bit more gas mileage. Just my 2 cents.
