4.30 would put you closest to a 3.73 with stock tires. You would be about 2k RPM at 70MPH. If you plan on going larger, towing heavy or crawling at low speeds then go with the 4.56, otherwise the 4.30 would be perfect.

4.30s if you don't tow. If you tow often/heavy go 4.56. At 70 MPH, with 37s 4.56 would only be 100 RPM higher. With 4.30s, if you ever need to go back to stock, you could still DD it.

36.

The point being that size is a really small factor of the many things that regard mileage.
