How much of a difference can one expect from going to 4.56 from 4.10?
Is it enough to justify the cost of the gears? (labor is free, me)
I dont really want to buy 8.8, gears, locker for the rear and front gears. If I can live with 4.56s. I know one day I will outgrow 33s, and have to go the 8.8 route, but for now I just wanna wheel with little down time.

Well I think you would be very happy with the difference but I would go with an 8.8 and use 4.88s that way you can go up to 35s and not be too undergeared but not too over geared for 33s...

That is pretty much what I want to do in the future, but wasnt sure if the 4.56 is worth it for the right now. Thanks.

I don't think it's enough of a change to even justify the cost. My opinion, but I guess if you feel it's really necessary.
