It wouldn't make that much of a difference but it definitely depends on what
came stock in the rearend (the speedo suffers though). The 31" and 3.92:1
is great combination for the daily commute, but for off-road use, the 4.10:1
(if not higher) would definitely help out on the "crawls".

If the tires are 33" or greater, there's really no choice in the
matter...4.10:1
