um what?
8.8 is the axle size 4.10:1 is a gear ratio two completely different things and FYI our 6ers come with a 7.5 rear end and 3.53:1 gear ratio

if you get 4.10:1 gears and a posi trac you will feel a massive acceleration gain and u will feel more torque when accelerating but you wont gain any actual torque just feel it better and the posi trac will help you grab traction by keeping both wheels spinning together in a straight line.

you don't need the 8.8 unless your over 350 horses just get t-lok. 4.10 gears will give you much better acceleration but no true number gains.

If you get the 4.10's and t-lok you have to get them for either a 7.5 or an 8.8. If you get it for the 7.5 and later want to upgrade the rear you have to get a new set of 4.10's and t-lock right?

usually the 8.8 already comes with t-lok so you would probably just need the gears.
