If your not planning on going any bigger then 33s I would think 4.3 would be the way to go since you do a lotta high way work. 4.56 is good but on the highway a bit to low. Get 4.3 then if you find that to tall 4wding put crawler gears . I run 4.56 in my ute. It's got 33s (2.4L) and does 100 at about 2900rpm so 4.3 will be more practical on the highway

I just pulled apart diffs outta a 91 model 2.8 diesel. 4.3, they should be easy as to find
