And just in case the shop forgets to tell you.
Don't romp on the car for the first 500mi. after install
Be soft on the car and let the gears break in.

Awesome, thanks for the technical know-how blacksmoke...
Keeping my foot out of the car after switching gears will be the toughest part right after! But that won't be an issue, I'll baby her just like i did for the first few thousand miles, 'til I had figured out how much fun it was to drive it like a sports car

Indeed. At a certain point in power, 4.10's become too much. I have 3.55 gears in mine and 1st is pretty much useless as it is. But for this looking to get some great bang for their buck, hard to go wrong with some aggressive gears.

Just have to find the time to let my car sit while they are installed, tough when it's the daily driver
Make sure to get a tune, the shift points will need to be adjusted for the 4.10 install on an automatic.

4.10 in an auto owns. It can get touchy on a DD as you have to definitely feather the throttle from a stop. Still love the gear ratio though. Make sure to have some good sticky rubber.
