    The highway gas mileage difference isnt going to be that drastic between the two gears. But like I mentioned, after the 4.56s are available then it might make sense to appease the more conservative crowd with 4.10s.... BUT food for thought, if you have the 4.7L or the 5.7L and are concerned about gas mileage, then you're not going to regear to 4.10s since the 3.73s are sufficient. So even in that regard I dont see a market for 4.10s in this platform.

    The lower gears would definitely help crawl ratio.

    I totally agree that he would immediately sell more 4.56's simply since the guys running the 4 inch and 33's+ are really lacking in the performance, for the most part tend to wheel their jeep often and are modifying more than the budget boost crowd. I don't foresee myself getting a 4 inch kit and adding 33's or 35's, mostly because of the lack of availability and I really want to start a Stroked/Procharged Hemi project for a future street car... but in the meantime lump me into that conservative category. I would like to have some towing performance back while pulling a camper over these long mountain passes and still be able to afford the kids. I wheel 1-2 times a month from June to October or whenever the forest roads are opened, short season cause of snow. I feel that for myself a few hundred RPM on the long haul would be equivalent to losing a portion of overdrive.
