Thats a good question. From 4.10-4.56 isn't a huge jump. But will likely get you 10th back. When gearing up you have to consider your priorities and usage case. The more aggressive play is 4.88 If you want more low end grunt to climb and tow and just overall have more snap off the line, run a lot of sand and want more wheel speed? go 4.88. It will be at the expense of some fuel milage and higher rpm’s on the highway( or as you mentioned drone). 4.56 is a bit more mild, basically restores final stock ratio to lock out in 10th. Fuel milage might actually improve. But idk what your goals are.
I will add, this is the unsung beauty of these new 8-10 speed transmissions…. Even without a regear they adapt and compensate really well. Back in the day with 4/5/6 speeds you were cooked!
