the advantages in my opinion is your truck will not lug around as much. And you get better WOT performance down low. The disadvantage is increase fuel consumption on the highway and often you wont be able to do a 4-2 kickdown from 70 mph whereas a 3.42 or 3.73 truck will and will pull you because of that most likely, power being equal. Of course all of this is dependent on tire height.

It only turns a few hundred more rpms then a 373, is def a difference... I don't understand why people build there stuff then worry about the gas mileage(LOL) Go for it and be happy..

I'll agree with scott on the tuner comment. I've seen trucks similar to yours get better driven hard. I get 20 highway / 15 city driving pretty hard with my 5.3
