regearing is a small price to pay for the gas mileage ud save...

With stock Z-71 tires, the 3.73 gets 1 mpg less than the same Z-71 with 3.42s.

It is not as big a difference as you think.

Plus, too much gear and the engine is running too high on the highway sucking gas also. 4.10s with 33s and no overdrive sucks.

yes but 342's, 33's and vortec = awsome i got 17 mpg out of my 97 when i had it(on uncorrected odd so i actually got better due to it reading less mile's than i actually drove)

and kyle, the stock tire is a 31" and my 285/70's are about 33x9.5 and it cruises great so im thinking a nice 305/70 will suffice and look better and will not need to be geared. there will just be a little more drag from the incrased ride height and wider tire's so im figureing about 10 mpg maybe more once my friend dose up a new tran's for me (he's a tran's tech at andrew's in mason)
