your in a higher torque band of the motor. when i towed my race car (12klbs all truck trailer and car)with 3.42s it would always downshift out of overdrive.. with the 4.10s i used to have it would rarely do it. havent towed it with the 4.56s yet. but i did put in a set in dozerdans truck, drove to colorado and never downshifted out of overdrive thru the mountains pulling a uhaul.

Hmmm gotcha. See i have to go to 5.13's to be equal to a 4.56 with my 33" mud tires. might be although. But was planning on just 4.88's which is equal to a 4.30
