I have ran the calculators, and thought 4.56's would be good, but lately thinking that may not be low enough. I plan on running my current small block for now with my 465/4 speed manual trans/swap in a np205 t-case with 40" tires. Not going to be a 70 mile an hour cruiser much, but still needs to be a little bit streetable between trail runs. Also anyone know where to get a good deal on gear swap kits for these axles?

Here's a good cheat sheet for those calc's.
