Right, I see your point, but I wouldn't upgrade the LS to 4.90's later on, it would keep the 4.6 gears. It will never have a tire bigger than a 32. The 4.90 gears will go in my SR along with T case gears. My 'LSR' (although it can wheel some pretty serious stuff) will be primarily a camping/towing/everyday traveling 4x4 while the SR will eventually become a serious wheeling machine mainly used for sick off roading only <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" /> or going on week long expeditions in the desert.
