4.56 gears is a good ratio for 35 inch tires. I run 4.88 which is pretty steep on the highway and my truck drinks lots of gas because of it. It might help to know what your definition of fast is then work your ideas from there.

I agree with this. 4L60's barely last behind a stock 6.0 as is, even if it is built it won't hold to the weight and power. Too much stress. I would definitely go with a built 4L80. Anyone here know how to beef up the transfer case internals? Or is it even necessary?

Stock transfer case is good as is. If you have high miles or its leaking, you can crack it open, inspect everything, install a pump rub plate, replace the chain if you want, and slap it back together.
Atomic and Stock48 push A LOT of power through their transfer cases and hold up very well.
