Yeah I dunno, 4.88 is pretty steep with a short tire.
I would probably pick the 4.56 myself, but if you want the 4.88, we need to do some math, but most likely you'll need to hit OD by the 1/4 and most ppl say that ruins the 60. So something else to consider.

You need to figure what your MPH @ 1/4 will be to properly gear your truck. Also be sure you are going to be using a 28" tire based on the calculations above. Change the tire size and you need to recalculate everything above. If you plan on swapping tires in the future take that into consideration.
