I love my 3.73s in my heavy pig perfect balance of mileage and performance IMO, plus just gives you a better excuse to add more power since you have a higher gear ratio

well if you want the truth with the same mods you have i went a slower time off the gas, just like the headers, don't expect the gears to change that much. this is with my 4.11 gears

4.10's! YOu have tall tires. If you were lowerd and 2wd I would say 3.73's since you want to drive on the free way. with 4.10's and a 31" tall tire will be around 2200 at 75mph. That will level out on the gas mileage cause its gonna help intown cause it takes less to get the truck moving.
