I think the guys around here say that the 6 speed is better with the 4:10's and bigger tires. I would serioulsy consider regearing it makes a huge difference I have the 6 speed with 4.88's and it is the best thing I did. As far as color I would get Red Rock.

I have the automatic and I will definitely be adding a taller gear when I get the bigger treads. I'm somewhere near 1500 rpm around 45mph-50mph now. WAY LOW in my opinion. I have a 4.10 with stock 18". Having the 6speed would give you more options. Cheaper too

I installed the bumper and I think it is possible to hook up the lights to the factory fogs but I ran them to a Cooltec switch panel that I installed for the locker switches.
