Recently i found out that my truck shares the same rear end that is used in the 4th gen Fbodies.
What gearing options do i have to work with? I currently have 3.42s and the factory has the options of 3.73s and 4.10s. Are there others to choose from...maybe a nice inbetween like 3.90s?
Id like something that will make a nice difference but not murder my gas mileage. Right now i have the factory 17s but plan to go to some 18s in the near future and at the very least i would like the same acceleration with the 18s.

One of our supporting vendors has a selection of gears. Here's a link.

just changing the rim size isn't going to change the acceleration....much.
there are some small things to consider like decreased traction from smaller sidewall, and increased rotating mass by moving the wheel weight to the outside. but for the most part...if you get the same diameter tire as stock...you won't notice a difference.
