Default Gears?

I have talked to a few people about changing the axle ratio's. Some say 4.10 is too much, others say it runs just fine? I run my car as a everyday driver, should i go with 3.73, or say the hell with it and go for what i really want... more low end... What do you all think?

4.10's give you good low end but say goodby to the top end. I think your 4th gear will only go to about 110 with 410s. If you dont mind then go ahead and get them but you will have fun whether you get 373 or 410.

4.10s, however, since you have an 04 with the T-3650 tranny i would seriously look at 4.30s, you will turn about 2800 rpms at 80 mpg in OD but you will have a super short first gear, so for DD either starting in second or quick shifting would be required but i suggest you seriously think about them
