Are there any downsides to doing this, such as engine strain?
Also, this will not affect my Limited slip will it?
Thanks.

For some reason, some folks think that "taller gears help high speed acceleration while lower gears help low-speed acceleration" but this is simply not the case.
Trust me, my truck accelerates nicely in OD with 4.10s, much more satisfying than when it had 3.31s.

Thanks.
