If I upgrade to a 4.10, won't my car be more subjectable to wheel spin?

city mileage is the same since you shift to higher gears earlier.

freeway mileage drops 2-3mpg since your at a few hundred rpm more in 6th.

theyll affect it slightly on the highway and it depends on how you drive around town...yes you will have traction issues,my car became a burnout machine!!.i wouldnt bother spending the money on the 10bolt unless you dont really beat it too hard or take it to the track much...if you do save your money for a strange.. i've had nothing but problems with both of my moser 12bolts,also in my 3rd 10bolt 4.10s lasted only 4 days before the ring gear broke .I personally thought my car was more enjoyable to drive when it had 3.42's in the 10bolt...i'll be switching to 3.73's soon when the 3rd rebuild of the 1.5 year old moser with only 1k miles on it is done

That thing looks clean man, nice looking pattern. i hope mine will look just as good and last just as long.

Thanx. I had a rear-end specialty shop do the setup. It has been well worth the money.

Now regarding tire spin: you WILL break the tires loose a lot easier.
With practice, you can get your car to launch quickly with 4.10's with minimum tire spin.

Dude man those 4.10's really screwed up your rear-end. I mean it knocked the cover right off and you lost all of your fluids....
