If the gears are cheap and you can get them installed cheap then I say try the 4:10s. What do you really have to loose? if you don't like them then you know to go 3:73s when you order the 12 bolt. What if you wait and after getting the 12bolt/4:10s you don't like them? Allot more money to buy a new gear set.

I've had both 4:10 and 3:73s in my car. I personally like the 3:73s better. ( remember I have a 93, so steeper gears). I run the Nitto DRs and the 4:10 made 1st and 2nd gear completely worthless. The 3:73s weren't as bad until I put the blower motor in. 1st is still worthless, 2nd gear is when the boost comes on! the car would be a total mess with 4:10 gears and my power level.
