If your figuring mpg's off odometer reading then your not getting an accurate number.

Yes gears will improve it and make the rig more streatable. Man I bet you really have to get a running start for highway speeds. Ouch..

Good time to throw a locker in!!

Yeah it's pretty rough starting off I'm gonna need a clutch after gears

Been covered a few times..
5.29's
Lifted trucks on big tires have the aerodynamics of an outhouse, not conducive to being a prius

As someone already said 5.29's should get you going pretty good. Still not going to be 10 second truck but it will make highway speeds doable. I ran 35x13.5's on stock gears and a 22r for a long time and highway driving is embarrassing.

That's how I feel I run 55 every where can even get it in 5th I think 5:29's will solve all my problems

Haha don't worry, you're not alone.

Regearing to 5.29's will definitely help. 4.88's for 35's would work too, but 5.29's leaves room to run 37's if you want to do that in the future

Also looking into a locker while you have the diff's apart isn't a bad idea (if you can afford the extra couple hundred bucks)
