Default Gears for 4.3 Silvy

Looking for opinions on gears..

2wd, 5spd, currently 3.23s, 28.5" tires(actual diameter). My speedo has been recalibrated. Right now I'm seeing 2000rpm at 73-74mph. I average almost 23mpg commuting and have seen 24 once.

I'm looking for a little better acceleration but don't want to completely murder my mileage. What are my gear options/brands under 3.73s? I dont care about posi or anything.. just replacement gear sets for the (8.5"?) axle.
Recommendations?
