Would 4.11's be a good choice for a daily driver, mostly highway and city driving on 35's? Or would 4.56 be a better choice?

Is this for a 2wd or 4wd?
I know its common for 4x4s to run 4:10s and 4:56s, typically for being lifted and running larger tires. But, for a DDer running on the street especially highway I think 3:73s would be a very good choice.

3.73 would be good for a 33" or less. I ran 245 tires with 3.73 gears and wanted my 4.56s. Bigger tires NEED bigger gears.

Atomic gets a little confused sometimes.

He is going to be running 4.56.....on what size tires? Less that a 33, I know that.
