It would be ideal to have the 4.88's and ARB's in the 60 with the 4.11's and detroits in the 40 IMO. It would keep a stonger gear set in the 40 (more hardcore rig) and give you some good grunt in the 60 for the occasional hard trail. Unfortunetly this means swapping ring and pinions and introduces $$ into the picture.
I hate decisions like this. . .

Lower gears in the differential would reduce stress on the axles and birfields, and I could go to a larger tire size and still have reasonable gearing for the paved roads.
The sixty will be used for longer trips so the higher gearing will be better.
