If you're towing I would definitely go with 4.56s especially if you're considering 295s. I tend to recommend lower gears since I went with 4.56s for 33s on my 96 and now I'm going for 5.13s. To me low speeds need deeper gears.

When the truck never sees above 45 mph and sees more dirt than pavement I want as deep as I can go.

To me 3.73s are ok for 31 inch tires and smaller. My 2000 feels like I removed a pair of cylinders climbing a hill now. Gears will never damage a transmission and towing at low speeds will actually help. More torque multiplication means less throttle with means leas gas burned.

If a shop will do gears for 299. Make an appointment. It cost me damn near 500 with me providing gears, carrier, and install kit.
