you can go all the way to 4.56

if u go with a 4.56 gear for a 10 bolt front dont you have to get a thick cut gear for that ratio?  only reason i ask is  the detroit tru trac taht i picked up iw as told i can run the 4.10 on without a problem but if i stepped up to a 4.56 i would need a thick cut gear for that

on a 10 bolt its 4.10 and up so if you got a 4.10 carrier your good for 4.56
