Default 3:73 vs 4:10 Gears

I was wondering what gear to go with? I have a 2009 5.3 with a few minor things done to it. I was looking at changing the gears out next. I have 22's with 305/40-22 tires on it. Currently I have the stock 3:42 gears in it. What do you guys think? Thanks.

This passed weekend i installed 4.10s in my 2010 GMC 1500 w/ 4.8. Truck has 33s and its a totally different truck. It's awesome. Did a transmission tune also.
Took about 2.5 hours to do the rear. Ordered from jawsgears.

EDIT: i have the 4-speed.

With the tire of 31.60" I would definitely go 4.10s, I'm going 4.11s.

If you had the 4 speed I would maybe even go to a 4.56.

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it is a 4 speed tranny. I was leaning towards the 4:10's because of the tire hight. I just wanted to get some opinions. Thanks guys

4.10 or 4.11s for sure then, you won't be disappointed.

went from 3.42s to 4.11s in my Burb, then switched to a 275/60R15 tire, made a huge difference. You'll like 4.10s a lot.

i wouldnt go 4:56s unless you use it as a track truck.

i have 4:10s in a CC and i turn 2500ish rpm at 85 2100ish at 70ish.
im running a 275/55/20 but ill be going to a 305/50 when i need tires.

i say 3:90/4:10s im putting 3:90s in my w/t bc it needs gears bad.
