        The 3.55 is a good choice, if MAX. towing power
is needed, get the 3.90.

        I would get the SURE GRIP, as it was only a $50.00
addition when I got my 4x2 SLT in '95... In 4x2 mode, it
makes a big difference in the sand/loose stuff...In 4x4 I would
imagine that it would be a great help too..

        Looks like you got the best of everything...
