Change Differential Gears to new Ratio?

Now at highway speeds the engine is running around 2000 RPM and it has enough low end torque to pull stumps easily. I'd gladly trade a slower acceleration off the light for better gas mileage and a quieter running engine. The axle is a Dana model, 80 I believe.
Thanks!
www.drivetrain.com Has all the information on identifying you axle and gear ratios. There is also a full list of available ring and pinion options.
I suggest contacting them. They will be able to give the best advice.
