And I agree, 4.10s are the best ratio for tires up to 33", anything bigger than that and it's 4.56s...
Tough to say on gas mileage, but I know a Hemi has a "sweet spot" at around 2000-2200 rpms where it seems to get better fuel economy than if it were down at say 1600-1800 rpms.
Air Ram, Moe's Performance, 4 Wheel Parts or Randy's Ring and Pinion are about the best places to get them...

The OP has a much more fuel efficient engine. It doesn't say whether he has a 4.7 or Hemi in the post, but in either case the design is 20+ years newer than that venerable old LA360 in your truck. A Hemi will produce similar torque and 100 more HP while still getting 25-35% better fuel economy.
Not that I'm bashing your engine, that thing is a tank and with marginal care (and a decent plenum gasket) should last 200,000+ miles. Get a Hughes solution for the plenum problem so it will handle an increase in HP, add a Superchips and 4.56s and you'll have a beast on your hands...
